"Last year I abstained
this year I devour
without guilt
which is also an art."
-Margaret Atwood; from Circe/Mud Poems (via weaverofstars)(Source: oofpoetry)
"Maybe you should just take a look inside of your self, because you create your own hell."
-The Gits (via marlovesadventure)"I mean I can’t be the saint people dream of now. People want a street angel. They want a saint but with a cowboy mouth. Somebody to get off on when they can’t get off on themselves. I think that’s what Mick Jagger is trying to do…what Bob Dylan seemed to be for a while. A sort of God in our image…ya know? Mick Jagger came close but he got too conscious. For a while he gave me hope… I want it to be perfect, ‘cause it’s the only religion I got…in the old days people had a Jesus and those people to embrace… They created a god with all their belief energies… and when they didn’t dig But it’s too hard now. We’re earthy people and the old saints just don’t make it, and the old God is just too far away. He don’t represent our pain no more. His words don’t shake through us no more. Any great motherfucker rock’n’roll song can raise me higher than all of Revelations. We created rock’n’roll from our own image, it’s our child…"
-Sam Shepard and Patti Smith - from Cowboy Mouth (via slothnorentropy)"The best thing about the bedroom was the bed. I liked to stay in bed for hours, even during the day with covers pulled up to my chin. It was good in there, nothing ever occurred in there, no people, nothing."
-Charles Bukowski, Ham on Rye (via petrichour)(Source: 13neighbors)
