rain california cupcakes
Things are tough all over, cupcake, an' it rains on the just an' the unjust alike...except in California.
hurt real past
The past can't hurt you anymore. Not unless you let it. They made you into a victim, Evey. They made you into a statistic. But, that's not the real you. That's not who you are inside.
years mad people
I've known a lot of people go mad over the years, and it is more distressing than people dying. People dying is quite natural, people going mad is the complete antithesis of that.
mind phantoms geography
Material existence is entirely founded on a phantom realm of mind, whose nature and geography are unexplored.
reality ideas mind
The Here-and-Now demands attention, is more present to us. We dismiss the inner world of our ideas as less important, although most of our immediate physical reality originated only in the mind. The TV, sofa, clock and room, the whole civilisation that contains them once were nothing save ideas.
character hard-times careers
Judged by the stark, sure-footed portrait in Hard Time, Brian Azzarello and Richard Corben clearly have John Constantine down, cold and to the life. Azzarellos grasp of pacing, character and situation resonates through every scene with a black crystal clarity thats short of masterful, while Corben contributes what is, perhaps, one of the most darkly expressive pieces in a long, already-legendary career.
children dark sky
Looked at sky through smoke heavy with human fat and God was not there. The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. Born from oblivion; bear children, hell-bound as ourselves, go into oblivion. There is nothing else.
dancing forever events
Consciousness, unprovable by scientific standards, is forever, then, the impossible phantom in the predictable biologic machine, and your every thought a genuine supernatural event. Your every thought is a ghost, dancing.
selfless way comfort
If we loved Steve Aylett, really loved him in the way that he deserves, a selfless love that genuinely wanted nothing save his happiness and comfort, we'd lobotomise him.
dark sense-of-humor moments
I'm not a particularly dark individual. I have my moments, it's true, but I do have a sense of humor.
over-it edges
I suppose that the main drive is to find the edge of something and then throw myself over it.
imagination inverse
There is an inverse relationship between imagination and money.
comic despise mediums
I despise the comic industry, but I will always love the comic medium.
genre divided
Life isn't divided into genres
