“Outsider artists like Poe, Van Gogh, and Kafka had so much to say—yet no one to say it to. Their voices were soft, uncertain, lost in the noise of their own era. Only now are they truly heard—at last, and loud, and with a clarity that shakes the very ground beneath us. Not just posthumously, but long after their generations have vanished into dust. Their deaths were not only personal losses, but warnings—so stark and so human, they’ve placed the entire species on the endangered list.”

“My crusade is not always to save others, but to mend the fractures in reality itself. If I can build a ground beneath their feet—a home they can return to when their grand illusions shatter—then I have done my part. And sometimes, I am the one who casts the stones.”

“Never mourn the spirit of your past, but light a candle to spark ablaze the soul of your future, and who you’re going to be. And burn so brightly, and so deeply, that the person you see in the mirror can never defeat you.”

“You’re better looking than me. You’re more intelligent than me. Your personality is more likable than mine. You make more money than me. Your family is nicer than mine. Your religion is better than mine. You’ve seen more beaches than me. You’ve been to more cities than me. Your automobile is nicer than mine. Your significant other is better looking than mine. Your candidate won. Your home team won. You’re number one. But life is a tie. We all die.”

“You know, I often tremble when it's apparent that I've accidentally confused a stupid person. Stupid people have been known to kill what they don't understand.”

“I must have seen the separation coming for weeks, but simply chose not to acknowledge it. However, there was no indifference. Just pure, fraught alienation. My idea is to live virtually unafraid. We're never told of forces equally unabashed. It's a concoction for thrills, sure, but it's also a formula for heartbreak. The kind of heartbreak that congeals around the flesh; slows a person down to the freezing point, and cheats them of the most significant civilities left in this world.”

“Subconsciously, we all want to be nebula... In the end, we’re all connected. We’re all going to become one cloud of light whether you like it or not. We’re all made of the same star dust.”
