“To tell someone not to be emotional is to tell them to be dead.”
“There is still a popular fantasy, long since disproved by both psychoanalysis and science, and never believed by any poet or mystic, that it is possible to have a thought without a feeling. It isn't. When we are objective we are subjective too. When we are neutral we are involved. When we say ‘I think’ we don't leave our emotions outside the door. To tell someone not to be emotional is to tell them to be dead.”
“If someone tells you to change yourself, tell them to go fuck themselves.”
“Telling someone about what a symbol means is like telling someone how music should make them feel.”
“Dead women tell no tales. Sad men write them down.”
“The Bible says that it’s all right to cast the first stone if someone dead is telling you to do it”
