“Only the dead are truly smart, truly cool. Nothing touches them. While I live, however, I side with bumbling suffering crooked life, with anger rather than boredom, with sweet lust, hunger & carelessness...against the icy avant-guard & its fashionable premonitions of the sepulcher. ”
“These are the Seven Deadly Sins: Avarice, Envy, Pride, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Sloth.These are the seven deadly sins: venality, paranoia, insecurity, excess, carnality, contempt, boredom.”
“I suppose no one is truly dead when we go on loving them.”
“This flesh in which we live is nothing more than a cocoon, and only when we step out of it do we truly begin to live.”
“I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead. ”
“The truly fashionable are beyond fashion. ”
