William S. Burroughs
“There is a kidney-shaped fish pool outside the picture window. I cleaned it out and put in some large goldfish I bought in a bait store. The cats are always trying to catch the fish, with no success. One time the white cat leapt for a frog across the pool. The frog dove in and the cat fell in. He is trouble-prone.”
William S. Burroughs, The Cat Inside

Dennis Cooper
“To you, the fairy tale’s a cheesy medium that builds physically unsound worlds that one eventually outgrows, and to me a fairy tale is city planning.”
Dennis Cooper, I Wished

Kelly Braffet
“Nature makes sense, children. Logical, concise, direct. It's humanity that's fucked it all up.”
Kelly Braffet, Josie and Jack

Tanya Thompson
“Man needs money and power before he acquires mate. His value determines what is on offer.”
Tanya Thompson, Red Russia

Italo Calvino
“From mirror to mirror — this is what I happen to dream of — the totality of things, the whole, the entire universe, divine wisdom could concentrate their luminous rays into a single mirror. Or perhaps the knowledge of everything is buried in the soul, and a system of mirrors that would multiply my image would then reveal to me the soul of the universe, which is hidden in mine.”
Italo Calvino, If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler
