Fear and Loathing

“Fear is just another word for ignorance” “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro” “Freedom is something that dies unless it’s used” “In a closed society where everybody’s guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.” “You can turn your back on a.

Box of Chocolates

Life… is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates.
