"We are what we are. We don't have to define it or label it."

-- Marijane Meaker

“The face staring back at me isn't beautiful but she isn't something that would scare the horses, either.”
“If you're taking performance-enhancing drugs and you get caught, in my mind, you should be banned for life.”
“Brain damage and stupidity are very different things, but can have similar effects on the wearer.”
“Republicans and conservatives have to figure out that Democrats have plenty of rope to hang themselves on their own. But you have to give voters a reason to vote for you as well.”
“The only thing a star asks is to be allowed to twinkle.”
“Art alone makes life possible â€“ this is how radically I should like to formulate it. I would say that without art man is inconceivable in physiological termsâ€¦ I would say man does not consist only of chemical processes, but also of metaphysical occurrences. The provocateur of the chemical processes is located outside the world. Man is only truly alive when he realizes he is a creative, artistic beingâ€¦ Even the act of peeling a potato can be a work of art if it is a conscious act.”
