No artist knows everything... but since every artist knows more than he can tell, all art is lying by omission.

No amount of violence you've done to others prepares you for violence done to yourself.
Glen Duncan
Image
That's the problem with being alive ... You've got to keep thinking of what to do.
Glen Duncan
Image
Just because life's meaningless doesn't mean we can't experience it meaningfully.
