"Well it's beef cake when I'm hungry, and whiskey when I'm dry, greenbacks when I'm hard-up, and hell when I die." - Nick Cave
Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. * Imagine having nothing on your hands but your destiny. You sit on the doorstep of your mother's womb and you kill time--or time kills you. You sit there chanting the doxology of things beyond your grasp. Outside. Forever outside.
-Henry Miller
