“Love is so whimsical in both sexes that it is impossible to be lasting. But my heart is particular and contradicts my own observation.”

“My heart perceived wildernesses of contradictions and impossible truths and mystical lies.”

“And love? Well, if sex is sweet and death is bitter, love is both. Love will always and forever break your heart.”

“Brainstorm and make impossible possible. Make contradictions realistic. As if a contradiction is the other name of impossibility? Or simply impossible when contradicted becomes possible.”

“My candle burns at both ends;It will not last the night;But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—It gives a lovely light!”

“No beast of reality, or creature of imagination, is as terrible as mankind. Or as loving. It’s a contradiction. I’ve always liked contradictions. Today I see both sides of the coin unveiled in gruesome and beautiful imagery, captured by my eyes and filed away in my mind, like still shots taken by a world-renowned photographer.”
