Neurotics build castles in the sky,
psychotics live in them,

ORIANNA FALLACI (June 29 1929-Sept 15 2006)
"I never wrote for money. I could never write for money--which means by order or for an engagement with a publisher."
Think of Nothing, and So Be It, the book on Vietnam. For me, it is not even a book on Vietnam, it is a book on the war. (I am obsessed by the uselessness and the stupidity and the cruelty and the folly of the war.)
Letter to a Child Never Born (which was not written for the issue of abortion as it has been said so often and so gratuitously) was born out of the loss of a child.
A Man was written out of the death of my companion Alekos Panagoulis and the grief for such loss. However, one should notice that the leitmotif of all my books is the theme of death. These three books always speak of death or refer to death, my hate for death, my fight against death... . Freedom is only one of the many other elements. What really pushes me to write is my obsession with death."
About me: "Imagination is more important than knowledge" ALBERT EINSTEIN. I adore humourous,charasmatic and slightly off the wall characters. Perhaps half genius and half baffoon :-) Let me ask the age old question, " Is psychological suffering an essential component of artistic creativity?" OSCAR WILDE. Painting, reading and good conversations are my aphrodisiacs.
Freiedrich Nietzsche, Carl Jung, Oriana Fallaci, Georgia O'Keefe, Frida Kahlo, Leonard Cohen, Carlos Castaneda, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Rasputin, Sveinbjorn Bjarkason
"I HOPE THE EXIT IS JOYFUL, AND I HOPE NEVER TO RETURN." ~F.KHALO (The earrings were made by Salvador Dali) “I AM NOT AFRAID OF DEATH, I JUST DON"T WANT TO BE THERE WHEN IT HAPPENS." ~ WOODY ALLEN
For a lover of words, the art of body writing is both a spiritual encounter and an erotic one, depending on the person you're marking. In the movie "Quills", the institutionalized Marquis de Sade takes to writing his thoughts in wine on his bedsheets when his paper, inkpot and quills are removed from his quarters as a punishment. Later, on the verge of madness, he begins writing on the flesh of his arms, legs and torso using his own blood as a medium. When the desire is strong enough, there is nothing that can quell the urge to write and record.
Hi to the Best of Best Friends I hope you are having a fun holiday. I'm going to hop into the bath and go out on the town and listen to some live music. Peace be with you! w/love Rhonda XOXOX Ps.

" your every wonder in this world to me " ---- " michael jackson " ( song lyrics ) --- i chose this lyrical quote to show what genius there was in jacksons work ! ( what can be greater than telling someone that they are " every " wonder in this world ! right ? ) and i also chose it because i think it describes you ! --- " saint " : ) ...
