Favorite Quotes

“We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t fuck them.” – John Waters

“This all-girl (band) fantasy I’ve had my whole life… well, it’s not going to happen. Like, there are fucking riot grrrls banging on pots and pans and talking about their vaginas, and that’s all really lovely, but the music blows. You have to fucking sit in your room and practice. You have to fucking learn how to play guitar.” – Courtney Love

“I swear she cast a shadow white as stone
But who would count eternity in days?
These old bones live to learn her wanton ways:
(I measure time by how a body sways).” – Roethke
