Bio
They say Mark Twain lived off of blood taken from the hearts of hobos.

Who the hell's Mark Twain? I don't know.

Though I do have a nasty habit of losing pencils.






If we could have just done something so dreadful and Father said That's sad too people cannot do anything that dreadful they cannot do anything very dreadful at all they cannot even remember tomorrow what seemed dreadful today and I said, You can shirk all things and he said, Ah can you. And I will look down and see my murmuring bones and the deep water like wind, like a roof of wind, and after a long time they cannot distinguish even bones upon the lonely and inviolate sand. Until on the Day when He says Rise only the flat-iron would come floating up. It's not when you realise that nothing can help you--religion, pride, anything--it's when you realise that you dont need any aid.
-William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury-

I was born condemned to be one of those who has to see all sides of a question. When you're damned like that, the questions multiply for you until in the end it's all question and no answer.
-Eugene O'Neill, The Iceman Cometh-

I would meet you upon this honestly.
I that was near your heart was removed therefrom
To lose beauty in terror, terror in inquisition.
I have lost my passion: why should I need to keep it
Since what is kept must be adulterated?
-T.S. Eliot, 'Gerontion'-

EQUITY, ELIGIBILITY, CULPABILITY,
heard through a cloud—acoustic din—the rage;
that THEATRE OF VOICES, noble if not
ridiculous. Forsaken in the telling.

-Geoffrey Hill, Speech! Speech!-

You know your business, I know mine. Your business is being an asshole.
-David Mamet, Glengarry Glen Ross-

They knew in their hearts they had come not to be cured but for confirmation that they were incurable; not in hope but for the elimination of hope; for the removal of that final, impossible chance--that's why they came--to seal their anguish, for the content of a finality.
-Brian Friel, Faith Healer-

That's what I do. I get this feeling I can't control the situation. Something's getting out of control. Things won't work.
-Sam Shepard, "Action"-

Preacher was a-talkin', there's a sermon he gave,
He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved.
You cannot depend on it to be your guide
When it's you who must keep it satisfied."

-Bob Dylan, "Man in the Long Black Coat-

Happy roads is bunk. Weary roads is right. Get you nowhere fast. That's where I've got--nowhere. Where everyone lands in the end, even if most of the suckers won't admit it.
-Eugene O'Neill, Long Day's Journey Into Night-
