A List of Indignities



"Sometimes we have the absolute certainty that there's something inside us that's so hideous and monstrous that if we ever search it out we won't be able to stand looking at it. But it's when we're willing to come face to face with that demon that we face the angel." —Hubert Selby, Jr.

Work

"I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of 'work,' because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do . . . The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep."
—Andy Warhol, From A to B and Back Again, 1975

Eternal Mistake

"The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant growth, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal."
—Aleister Crowley, The Confessions of Aleister Crowley, 1929

"I love songs about horses, railroads, land, Judgment Day, family, hard times, whiskey, courtship, marriage, adultery, separation, murder, war, prison, rambling, damnation, home, salvation, death, pride, humor, piety, rebellion, patriotism, larceny, determination, tragedy, rowdiness, heartbreak and love. And Mother. And God." —Johnny Cash
