“Writing has nothing to do with pretty manners, and less to do with sportsmanship or restraint [...]
Every writer begins as a subversive, if in nothing more than the antisocial means by which he earns his keep. Finally, every fantasist who cannibalizes himself knows that misfortune is his friend, that grief feeds and sharpens his fancy, that hatred is as sufficient a spur to creation as love (and a world more common) and that without an instinct for lunacy he will come to nothing.”

“Fantasmagoria by Stewart Stafford

Dreams are the exploration,
Of unlimited imagination,
In minds so freely open,
The chooser becomes chosen,
To dream labour's leisure,
Overflowing with hidden treasure,
And seeing what we feel,
The imagined becomes real.

“From the darkness, sing to me about everything you know.
Of the dark star birthing Zeus from the foam of darkness,
Of his children and other gods of darkness and light,
Of the dawn revealing with its rosy finger the origin of the day,
Of the paths of light and the path of memory, reason, and knowledge,
Of past and future glory, of sources of inspiration,
Of the entombed wisdom of ancient Atlantis, of volcanoes,
Of archaic thunders and bolts of lightning, of fortune and misfortune;
Of the first hurricanes and typhoons, meteors and comets
Which inseminated the planet Earth before the birth of the Balkans;
Of seas and gales and the most enchanting of all seas,
Of the Mediterranean, which taught you to sing, too.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, OZAR
