Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.&rdquo;<br /> <br /> <br /> ― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

Favorite Quote:
&quot;Love is merely a madness, and, I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and a whip as madmen do: and the reason why they are not so punished and cured is, that the lunacy is so ordinary that the whippers are in love too.&quot;

Favorite Quote:
See the animal in his cage that you built. Are you sure what side you&#039;re on? What if everything around you, Isn&#039;t quite as it seems? What if all the world you think you know, Is an elaborate dream? -Nine Inch Nails
