my hands dead my heart dead silence adagio of rocks the world ablaze that's the best for me.
Charles Bukowski
I don't carry notebooks and I don't consciously store ideas. I try not to think that I am a writer and I am pretty good at doing that. I don't like writers, but then I don't like insurance salesmen either.
