Art is not about thinking something up. It is the opposite - getting something down.
Unfortunately, the more chaotic the society, the greater is the desire for conservative, nonconfrontational art.
Hidup yang berarti, dan mati lebih berarti lagi.
Is beauty enhanced or adulterated by utility?
...as if prayers ever put out a fire.
When you’re young it's easy to confuse passion for love.
It touched me to be trusted with something terrible.
Friends don’t build cages for each other.
Sorrow spares no one, and scars respect no person.
But pessimism and reality are usually mistaken for each other
One must gauge one's trust carefully.
To have a traitor for an ally is to have an enemy in waiting
And Kushiel sends no punishment that we are not fit to bear.
Reality is shaped by the forces that destroy it.
There is no time for fear. It's much too interesting.
Even prisoners can escape if they have books.
You must appreciate beauty for it to endure.
One must always forgive another's passion.
Speak of evil, and you summon it.
I read to be alone. I read so as not to be alone.
A technicality I'm prepared to hide wildly behind.
