Why be one person

when you can be two?

A cannon fires only once

but words detonate across centuries.

If you want to destroy someone's passion,

make it their job.

Everybody is ignorant,

only on different subjects.

If we want the rewards of being loved,

we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known.

Fabulous

inconsequentiality.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times,

to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

The opportunity to choose

your own jailer.

Rules for cops.

Don't fight the people who are fighting for you.

At your best, all you'll ever be

is fucking depressing.

That he may devour her time and time again,

all to a groovy techno beat.

An unknown

wanting.

If you want to make a human being into a monster,

deny them, at the cultural level, any reflection of themselves. 

Cooter

d'etat.
