You are

who you are

when no one

is looking.

I spoke with philosophers

who felt that

to draw out the span

of a man's life

was to draw out

the agony of his dying

and multiply

the number of his deaths.

- Borges (The Immortals)

“Some people have lives;

some people have music.”― John Green

Spend any amount of time around people,

you get your heart broke.

Treachery, hypocrisy. Promise of love.

Look into the mouth of a person,

and you'll find lies

wriggling there like maggots

waiting to grow wings.

The world has gone mad.

A man could kill

from sunup to sunset,

and still his work

would never be done.

(Ernie Dell, CSI - 7x10 - Loco Motives)

"Everything we call real

is made of things that

cannot be regarded as real."

- Niels Bohr

"Once I had a love

and it was divine

Soon found out

I was losing my mind

It seemed like the real thing

but I was so blind

Mucho mistrust,

love's gone behind"

"Lollipop Lollipop

Oh Lolli Lolli Lolli...

Call my baby Lollipop
Tell you why
'Cause he's sweeter than an apple pie
And when he does his shaky rockin' dance
Man I haven't got a chance
I call him

Crazy way he thrills-a me
Tell you why
Just like a lightning from the sky
He loves to kiss me
'Till I can't see straight
GEE, my Lollipop is great!
I call him..."

"The bird struggles

to get out of the egg.

The egg is the world.

Whoever is born

must destroy a world.

The bird flies to God.

The name of God is Abraxas."

- Hermann Hesse, Demian
