“Tomorrow is the end of the world and I am just wandering around and thinking only of happiness….”
Alexandar Tomov, Unexpected Tales from the Ends of the Earth
tags: 2013

Fernando Sorrentino
“I have often received messages from diverse readers that, with some variations, pose similar questions. For example:
'What did you want to symbolize with: a) the man that hits another man on his head with an umbrella? b) the mosquito that dominates the man? c) the fifty chastising lambs?'
In all cases my answers, in these words or words like these, are;
When I write a story I try to make it the best possible story in a literary sense: I just want to write a story.”
Fernando Sorrentino, How to Defend Yourself Against Scorpions

“I'm more of a man than you'll ever be and more of a woman than you'll ever get.”
Antonio Fargas in Car Wash, 1976

Jonas Karlsson
“Stupid people don’t always know that they’re stupid. They might be aware that something is wrong, they might notice that things don’t usually turn out the way they imagined, but very few of them think it’s because of them. That they’re the root of their own problems, so to speak. And that sort of thing can be very difficult to explain.”
Jonas Karlsson, The Room

Charles Bukowski
“To ask them to legalize pot is something like asking them to put butter on the handcuffs before they place them on you: something else is hurting you—that's why you need pot, or whiskey, or whips and rubber suits, or screaming music turned so fucking loud you can't think. Or madhouses or mechanical cunts or 162 baseball games in a season. Or Vietnam or Israel or the fear of spiders.”
Charles Bukowski, Tales of Ordinary Madness
