The past is a bucket of ashes.

"The past is never dead. It's not even past."

The writer of originality, unless dead, is always shocking, scandalous; novelty disturbs and repels.

"Capitalist realism is what happens when people stop believing that capitalism is a temporary system, and instead see it as the only possible reality."

I can never be safe; I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That's how I've gotten to where I am.
