| He's a symbol to a lot of people, and symbols have obligations. Giving up sucks; it's not the kind of message he should be sending.

Philip K. Dick |

|
| [...] Love is not limited to the Christian, love is not just for the church. If you wish to conquer us, show us love and not scorn. Faith moves mountains, love moves human hearts. The people opposing you are people, not things. Your enemy is not men but ignorant men. Don't confuse the men with their ignorance. It has taken years; it will take years more. Don't be impatient and don't hate. —The Transmigration of Timothy Archer |

|
| You can live through days without a glimpse of natural light here, going to work in the dark, going home in the dark. It can be miserable or it can give your life a strangely artificial air, a chiaroscuro that makes everything at once more solid and more staged. Like the whole world is a Caravaggio painting or a Rembrandt. The Prodigal Returns. —Hal Duncan, Ink: The Book of All Hours, p. 278. (This could be about Portland, Oregon, though it's not...) |

|
| There are those whose own vulgar normality is so apparent and stultifying that they strive to escape it. They affect flamboyant behavior and claim originality according to the fashionable eccentricities of their time. They claim brains or talent or indifference to mores in desperate attempts to deny their own mediocrity. These are frequently artists and performers, adventurers and wide-life devotees. Then there are those who feel their own strangeness and are terrified by it. They struggle toward normalcy. They suffer to exactly that degree that they are unable to appear normal to others, or to convince themselves that their aberration does not exist. These are true freaks, who appear, almost always, conventional and dull. —Arturo Binewski, Geek Love |

Bob Dylan |
|
| To live outside the law you must be honest. —"Absolutely Sweet Marie" (I had this under Jason & the Scorchers, who covered this song. Attribution corrected by Gregory Brian Johnson - thanks!) |
