Life is Like That

I don't want realism. I want magic... I don't tell truth, I tell what ought to be truth! And if that is sinful, then let me be damned for it!"
- Blanche DuBois -

"The medium is so miraculous that it should be on the side of the angels."
- Eleanor Perry -

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing... but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars."
- Jack Kerouac: On the Road -

"I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste."
- Marcel Duchamp -

"It often happens that I wake at night and begin to think about a serious problem and decide I must talk to the Pope about it. Then I wake up completely and remember that I am the Pope."
- Pope John XXIII -
