"Everything changes.
It all stays the same. Everyone guilty.
No one to blame."
- Motörhead, Love Me Forever



More often than not, hate is just well-informed love.
- Me



”We’ve all got our sob stories, Ivy.
Now he has his.”
- Butch, Cats & Dogs



”In spite of this, he deserves serious consideration, for he was a magician in the original sense – a mage rather than an ‘occultist’ or ‘spiritualist’. His character was flawed and complex, but his career certainly followed the parabolic course of rise and fall that seems typical of magicians.”
- Colin Wilson, The Occult: A History



"Morbid art doesn't shock me, and when a man has the genius Pickman had I feel it an honour to know him, no matter what direction his work takes."
- H. P. Lovecraft, Pickman's Model



"All the dark days
Spent in a maze
Have made a new man of him."
- Motörhead, Terminal Show



"I became evil for no reason. I had no motive for my wickedness except wickedness itself. It was foul, and I loved it. I loved the self-destruction, I loved my fall, not the object for which I had fallen but my fall itself. My depraved soul leaped down from [God's] firmament to ruin. I was seeking not to gain anything by shameful means, but shame for its own sake.

As a youth I prayed, 'Give me chastity and continence, but not yet.' "
- St. Augustine of Hippo, Confessions



"Marvin is apparently afflicted with severe depression and boredom, in part because he has a "brain the size of a planet" which he is seldom allowed to use. Indeed, the true horror of Marvin's existence is that no task he could be given would occupy even the tiniest fraction of his vast intellect."
- Wikipedia: Marvin, the Parnoid Android



"Heroin, she said,
was the best I've had;
no more mountains left to climb.
The world's so slow;
are my dreams just too high to be fulfilled in time?"
- Wolfsheim, Heroin, she said



"When you follow the herd all you get is shit and dust...

And don't worry, when the black boots kick in your door some of us will know what happened. They can't silence everyone."
- wpschlitz



"[I] look up to the sky.
I can't see a reason.
I don't think that He knows why
I don't want to meet Him."
- Nine, My Fallacy



”Don’t be a fool. The only thing I’ve ever loved was God. And that was a long time ago.”
- The Devil, Brimstone



No intelligent man believes in God.
Because he shouldn’t.
Every brilliant man does.
Because he knows he must.
-Me



”The ominous symbols of the Tarot – such as the Devil – are intended less as omens of disaster than as shocks to jar the mind out of ‘the triviality of everydayness’, to induce concentration upon essentials.”
- Collin Wilson, The Occult: A History



Hope dies.
- Me



"All this reflection was no doubt morbid, but keen logic and a deep sense of humour ably offset it. Malone was satisfied to let his notions remain as half-spied and forbidden visions to be lightly played with; and hysteria came only when duty flung him into a hell of revelation too sudden and insidious to escape."
- H. P. Lovecraft, The Horror at Red Hook



"We have choices. Not control."
- George Tower



"It's gettin' late; shit's gotta die."
- Alan "Mel" Gibson




"So you sit home
drinking alone,
empty bottle in your hand.
Don't even try
to sort out the lies;
it's worse to try to understand."
- Type O Negative, Unsuccessfully Coping With the Natural Beauty of Infidelity



"What do the lamas do?" she continued. "They devote themselves, madam, to contemplation and to the pursuit of wisdom."
"But that isn't doing anything."
"Then, madam, they do nothing."
- James Hilton, Lost Horizon



You know, Zoe, you're a sweet girl. Don't force me to have you gang-raped by Crack addicts.
- Me/stephen_alzis



I thought shadowing me for a half-hour would make you hungry, so I bought you this. Hope you like roast beef.
