People Quote
“People? People are chaotic quiddities living in one cave each. They pass the hours in amorous grudge and playback and thought experiment.

Death gives Continue reading

Reality
“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing.
