Fashion is a form of ugliness so vulgar we have to change it every six months.

Oscar Wilde

Make mine a pain in the neck Here's to you, you old wreck And mine is a thorn in the side Drink up, so we can both finally die And I'll have a bright yellow boat With nothing to row With nothing to row So make mine an all out of luck Here's to you, you miserable fuck And why did she finally leave? Because all you think of is me Because all you think of is me To your health To your health Make mine a pain in the neck Here's to you, you old wreck

I don't know what they are called, the spaces between seconds-- but I think of you always in those intervals.

Salvador Plascencia, The People of Paper

The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them-- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.
