"I wonder why the schools don't teach anything useful these days. Like how to fall from grace, and slide with elegance from a pedestal I never asked to be on in the first place." ~ Marianne Faithfull"

Beautiful new quote:
"Somtimes it''s not the light in a person that you fall in love with, but the dark. Somteimes it's not the optimist you need, but another pessimist to walk beside you and know, absolutely know, that the sound in the dark is a monster, and it really is as bad as you think." ~Ainta Blake from Laurell K. Hamilton's Blood Noir
"What does one wear to a copulation?" ~ Columbine Comtesse de Vasch
Beckett for Babies! What a great idea.
In a heart full of dust,
liives a creature called lust.
It surprises and scares.
Like me, like me.
My Name Isobel,
Married to myself.
My Love Isobel,
Living by herself.
"Isobel" ~Bjork
"Then I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in Manhattan. We'd take long walks down by the river and he'd beat me black and blue and I Loved it! I'd have Killed for that guy." ~ Christina "Is That All There Is?"
Faith is a device of self-delusion, a sleight of hand done with words and emotions founded on any irrational notion that can be dreamed up. Faith is the attempt to coerce truth to surrender to whim. In simple terms, it is trying to breathe life into a lie by trying to outshine reality with the beauty of wishes. Faith is the refuge of fools, the ignorant, and the deluded, not of thinking rational men.~Terry Goodkind Chainfire (p. 489)
In all my bizarre experiences, I had never actually encountered an animated skeleton. But in a world where McDonald's now sells salads with low-fat dressing, anything is possible. ~Odd Thomas from Dean Koontz's "Brother Odd"
Young people often wonder how the adult world can be so boring. The secret is that it is not boring, to adults, because they have learned to enjoy simple things. Like covert malice at one anothers expense. This is why they talk so much about the value of human understanding and sympathy. It has a certain rarity value in their world.

You Are 76% Evil
You are very evil. And you're too evil to care.
Those who love you probably also fear you. A lot.
The assumption that humans exist within an essentially impermanent universe, taken as an operational precept, demands that the intellect become a totally aware balancing instrument. But the intellect cannot react thus without involving the entire organism. Such an organism may be recognized by its burning, driving behavior. And thus it is with a society treated as organism. But here we encounter an old inertia. Societies move to the goading of ancient, reactive impulses. They demand permanence. Any attempt to display the universe of impermanence arouses rejection patterns, fear, anger, and despair.
~ The Book of Leto<BR
sometimes you're on your way to the bathroom, and you catch a glimpse of yourself in the hallway mirror, and you're like, "damn, i'm cute. " cheese! :]
I did your "how evil are you" - I'm 44%. Guess I'm not as nice as I thought which was o -such a BLOW,right? But dude-some of those questions were like 'have you done illegal drugs'(um-cut to the house off Mt Hope by Washington-hello.) or this one: 'you've called someone the C word'. Really? That makes me part evil? Happy to aboard! And a broad, too. PS- if Jon and I come to Chicago- you are going to be so sick of us! Can't wait to infect you.
