Richard Brautigan
If you are thinking about something that happened a long time ago: Somebody asked you a question and you did not know the answer. That is my name.
Richard Brautigan
Probably the closest things to perfection are the huge absolutely empty holes that astronomers have recently discovered in space. If there's nothing there, how can anything go wrong?

All girls should have a poem written for them even if we have to turn this goddamn world upside down to do it.
Richard Brautigan
I had a good-talking candle last night in my bedroom. I was very tired but I wanted somebody to be with me, so I lit a candle and listened to its comfortable voice of light until I was asleep.
