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.

A lie can be the truth.

The truth just in disguise.

The fear

that comes with freedom.

In a rush

to do nothing.

Losing trust

takes all the fun out of lying.

A mountain range

made of costume jewelry.
