Michelle Wareham (Under Gaslight) (Leatherback)

Under Gaslight, Leatherback

Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why (Vonnegut). Writing is my trade. I desire the things that will destroy me in the end (Plath). I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to food (WC Fields). Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle one doesn't dissolve in one's bath like a lump of sugar (Picasso). Excuse me, I'm busy living happily ever after here. Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice (Chehov). A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything (Nietzsche). I say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea (Dostoyevsky). Always be a poet, even in prose (Baudelaire).The meaning of life is that it stops (Kafka). There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so (Hamlet). Let me live, love, and say it well in good sentences (Plath). Life is only known to those that suffer, lose, endure adversity, and stumble from defeat to defeat (Nin). Talking nonsense is the sole privelge mankind possesses over the other organims. It's talking nonsense that gets one close to the truth (Dostoyevsky). When you go to bed, don't leave bread or milk on the table: it attracts the dead (Rilke).
