Ma petite Amélie

...vous n’avez pas des os en verre. Vous pouvez vous cogner à la vie.
(My little Amélie, you don’t have bones of glass. You can take life’s knocks)

...'Dont let the bastards get you down'.

Princess Issue

I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren’t pretty, or smart, or young. They’re still princesses. All of us. Didn’t your father ever tell you that? Didn’t he?

The Crunch

...there is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in the slow movement of
the hands of a clock.

people so tired
mutilated
either by love or no love.

people just are not good to each other
one on one.
the rich are not good to the rich
the poor are not good to the poor.

we are afraid.
our educational system tells us
that we can all be
big-ass winners.
it hasn’t told us
about the gutters
or the suicides.

or the terror of one person
aching in one place
alone
untouched
unspoken to
watering a plant.

Choose Your Future.

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit- crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life.

Georgia O'Keeffe: Bleached bones

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do... To create one's world in any of the arts takes courage.
