The world must be all fucked up when men travel first class and literature goes as freight.
- Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Certain things they should just stay the way they are. You ought to be able to stick them in one of those big glass cases and just leave them alone. I know that's impossible, but it's too bad anyway.
- J.D.S.
Justice is a knee in the gut from the floor on the chin at night sneaky with ah kmnife brought up down on the magazine of a battleship sandbagged underhanded in the dark without a word of warning. Garroting. That's what justice is.
- Joseph Heller
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
- Joseph Heller

Frank,
How about this one?
For I have known them all already, known them all:—
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
-The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
T.S. Eliot
Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
***
I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
***
I grow old … I grow old …
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
I wish I were clever enough to come up with a suggestion. How's this:
'I should have been
a fish in a bottle of booze'
-'A Fragment'
Orhan Veli (Turkish Poet)
(I was thinking of getting a tattoo of one of the drawings from 'Harriet the Spy', myself.)
