inspirational funny people
I often carry things to read so that I will not have to look at the people.
mean people waste
I guess we often get the deep blues, both of us, and wonder what it all means- the people, the buildings, the day by day things, the waste of time, of ourselves.
two numbers way
Look, let me put it this way: with me, you’re number one and there isn’t even a number two.
monday nice people
The streets were full of insane & dull people. Most of them lived in nice houses and didn't seem to work, and you wondered how they did it.
ifs
If you let them kill you, they will
dog angel
dogs and angels are not very far apart
pain real cat
Pain is strange. A cat killing a bird, a car accident, a fire.... Pain arrives, BANG, and there it is, it sits on you. It's real. And to anybody watching, you look foolish. Like you've suddenly become an idiot. There's no cure for it unless you know somebody who understands how you feel, and knows how to help.
cities clean
When you clean up a city, you destroy it.
circus triviality dies
We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus!
men thinking differences
The difference between a brave man and a coward is a coward thinks twice before jumping in the cage with a lion. The brave man doesn't know what a lion is. He just thinks he does.
writing sleep eye
There's nothing to stop a man from writing unless that man stops himself. If a man truly desires to write, then he will. Rejection and ridicule will only strengthen him. And the longer he is held back the stronger he will become, like a mass of rising water against a dam. There is no losing in writing, it will make your toes laugh as you sleep, it will make you stride like a tiger, it will fire the eye and put you face to face with death. You will die a fighter, you will be honored in hell. The luck of the word. Go with it, send it.
waiting
Things will be far worse than they are now. And far better. I wait.
nice writing moments
some moments are nice, some are nicer, some are even worth writing about.
love romantic writing
I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches, only writes to, keeps little photographs of.
