Quotes by Steve Abbott (?)

“Staring into someone’s eyes for a long time is psychic. At first it’s very strange and scary - scarier than the first time you have sex. Then you begin to relax, and the person you’re looking at may become very beautiful. As you look into their eyes, you may see them change sex or race. You can see the child in an old person and a young person may appear ancient. Just looking into someone’s eyes for a long time can be trippier than taking acid.”

“We distance ourselves for protection,
Wear scarves when it’s cold.
What seems most outlandish in our autobiography
Is what really happened.”
