Being an artist doesn’t take much, just everything you got. Which means, of course, that as the process is giving you life, it is also bringing you closer to death. But it’s no big deal. They are one in the same and cannot be avoided or denied. So when I totally embrace this process, this life/death, and abandon myself to it, I transcend all this meaningless gibberish and hang out with the gods. It seems to me that that is worth the price of admission Picture Quote #1

There’s a sorrow and pain in everyone’s life, but every now and then there’s a ray of light that melts the loneliness in your heart and brings comfort like hot soup and a soft bed Picture Quote #1

... I started to die 36 hours before I was born, so dying was a way of life for me Picture Quote #1

However they may have felt when they left they were now committed, they had passed the point of no return Picture Quote #1

Not only were all things possible, but all things were theirs Picture Quote #1

There was a sky somewhere above the tops of the buildings, with stars and a moon and all the things there are in a sky, but they were content to think of the distant street lights as planets and stars. If the lights prevented you from seeing the heavens, then preform a little magic and change reality to fit the need. The street lights were now planets and stars and moon Picture Quote #1

The voice so filled with nostalgia that you could almost see the memories floating through the blue smoke, memories not only of music and joy and youth, but perhaps, of dreams. They listened to the music, each hearing it in his own way, feeling relaxed and a part of the music, a part of each other, and almost a part of the world Picture Quote #1

Eventually we all have to accept full and total responsibility for our actions, everything we have done, and have not done Picture Quote #1

I suspect there will never be a requiem for a dream, simply because it will destroy us before we have the opportunity to mourn it’s passing Picture Quote #1

... and he just sat back and stared at the tube, almost interested in what was happening, trying to find the ability to believe in that lie so he could believe the one within Picture Quote #1
