"we are invented out of ingredients we cannot choose, by a process we cannot control" ~ lew welch
"Let all of life be an unfettered howl. Like the crowd greeting the gladiator. Don't stop to think, don't interrupt the scream, exhale, release life's rapture. Everything is blooming. Everything is flying. Everything is screaming, choking on its screams. Laughter. Running. Let down hair. That is all there is to life." - Nabokov
"Existence is a series of footnotes to a vast, obscure, unfinished masterpiece. "
Vladimir Nabokov
