Through my blue fingers, pink grains are falling, haphazard, random, a disorganized stream of silicone that seems pregnant with the possibility of every conceivable shape… But this is illusion. Things have their shape in time, not space alone. Some marble blocks have statues within them, embedded in their future.

How can two people hate so much without knowing each other?

A lot of people have found the idea of living your life over and over again absolutely terrifying there's some people that find it very comforting. There are others that are appalled by it.

It is not the job of artists to give the audience what the audience want. If the audience knew what they needed, then they wouldn’t be the audience. They would be the artist. It is the job of artists to give the audience what they need

Please, don't go. It's lonely. There's a hole in my head as big as the world and it's so very lonely.

I'm not a particularly dark individual. I have my moments, it's true, but I do have a sense of humor.
