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
mean men talking
I've no objection to the term 'graphic novel,' as long as what it is talking about is actually some sort of graphic work that could conceivably be described as a novel. My main objection to the term is that usually it means a collection of six issues of Spider-Man, or something that does not have the structure or any of the qualities of a novel, but is perhaps roughly the same size.
art talking looks
The more I look at most of the art movements, it's all occultism, when you get down to it. The Surrealists were openly talking about being magicians.
art magic stories
I don't distinguish between magic and art. When I got into magic, I realised I had been doing it all along, ever since I wrote my first pathetic story or poem when I was twelve or whatever. This has all been my magic, my way of dealing with it.
war doors differences
Admittedly, I do have several bones... whole war fields full of bones, in fact... to pick with organised religion of whatever stripe. This should be seen as a critique of purely temporal agencies who have, to my mind, erected more obstacles between whatever notion of spirituality and Godhead one subscribes to than they have opened doors. To me, the difference between Godhead and the Church is the difference between Elvis and Colonel Parker... although that conjures images of God dying on the toilet, which is not what I meant at all.
might wells ifs
I thought, "Well if I'm gonna react might as well overreact!
years rose three
It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses, and apologized to no one.
thinking important consciousness
Our consciousness, a startling outgrowth of the universe, is possibly its most important part, the fraction of existence that can think, feel, marvel at itself.
thinking ideas imagination
I'm the idea of the human imagination, which, when you think about it, is the only thing we can really be certain ISN'T imaginary.
The superman exists and he's American.
may conversation used
While a truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power.
dog children fate
The Rudderless World is not shaped by vague metaphysical Forces. It is not God who kills the Children. Not Fate that butchers them or Destiny that feeds them to the Dogs. ... It´s us. Only us.
