Screw Them

 

"You were heartbreakingly tender." — Hélène Cixous, from The Selected Plays of Hélène Cixous; Black Sail White Sail.


“Understand me. I’m not like an ordinary world. I have my madness, I live in another dimension and I do not have time for things that have no soul." — Charles Bukowski.


“I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.” — Edgar Allen Poe.


"I am the lady of the castle. My name is exile. My name is anguish. My name is longing. Far from the world on the windy crests of the mountain, I am kept in absolute seclusion, my time passes in an endless reverie, a perpetual swooning. I am both the Sleeping Beauty and the enchanted castle; the princess drowses in the castle of her flesh." —  Angela Carter, from The Curious Room: Collected Dramatic Works. (Image from Metropolis).


"And there will
be someone that
comes along one
day and offers you
an entire galaxy when
you only expected
a single planet.
 —  Noor Shirazie​

"Though I may seem at times somewhat distant from you, through the gray mist of my own moods, I am never far; my thoughts always circle around you."  —  Friedrich Nietzsche.

'Moon Worship' by Louise Benton


“Follow your inner Moonlight; don't hide the madness.” — Allen Ginsberg.


“Will you fall in love
with the madness inside me?
Will you cherish it?”
— Daily Haiku on Love by Tyler Knott Gregson


“I do not suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.” — Edgar Allan Poe.


“Nobody realises that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.” — Albert Camus.



'No Good Trying'

By Syd Barrett

It's no good trying to place your hand
Where I can't see, because I understand
That you're different from me
Yes, I can tell that you can't be what you pretend
And you're rocking me backwards and you're rocking towards
The red and yellow mane of a stallion horse

It's no good trying to place your hand
Where I can't see, because I understand
That you're different from me
Yes, I can tell that you can't be what you pretend
The caterpillar hood won't cover the head of you
Know you should be home in bed

It's no good holding your sequin fan
Where I can't see, because I understand
That you're different from me
Yes, I can tell that you can't be what you pretend
Yes, you're spinning around and around in a car
With electric lights flashing very fast 
 
The Madcap Laughs, 1970
