Artists

“Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact. ” ― William S. Burroughs

his pants and start talking on the street... 

shouting out it wanted equal rights.~William S. Burroughs, Naked Lunch

It was 60 years ago this month that Yeager took her first pictures of Bettie Page, the model and muse whose confident, sexually charged portraits, some of the best known shot in Key Biscayne and Boca Raton, have left an indelible mark on art and fashion, from the pages of Playboy to museum walls.

Nobody dared to touch them

“Since I don't smoke, I decided to grow a mustache - it is better for the health.However, I always carried a jewel-studded cigarette case in which, instead of tobacco, were carefully placed several mustaches, Adolphe Menjou style. I offered them politely to my friends: "Mustache? Mustache? Mustache?"Nobody dared to touch them. This was my test regarding the sacred aspect of mustaches.” ― Salvador Dalí, Dalí's Mustache

“I don't think there is any truth. There are only points of view. ” 

― Allen Ginsberg

constant habit of awareness

No man can roan or inhabit the Canadian North without it affecting him, and the artist, because of his constant habit of awareness and his discipline in expression, is perhaps more understanding of its moods and spirit than others are. He is thus better equipped to interpret it to others, and then, when her has become one with its spirit, to create living works in their own right, by using forms, colors, rhythms and moods, to make a harmonious home for the imaginative and spiritual meaning it has evoked in him.~~~ Lawren Harris

I know karate, Voodoo too-I'm gonna make myself available to you

I don't need no make up-I got real scars

I got hair on my chest-I look good without a shirt

 Well I don't lose my composure_In a high speed chase
Well my friends think I'm ugly_I got a masculine face

who will risk

"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” - T. S. Eliot.

Overgrown with weeds

“Anything you can aquire is only another thing you'll lose.” ― Chuck Palahniuk, Choke

Mmmm. Big city. Overgrown with weeds, but flowering weeds. On every corner a wrecking crew and something new and crooked going up catty corner to that. Windows missing in every edifice like broken teeth, gritty wind, and a gray high sky full of ravens.
Prophet birds, Roy. Piles of trash, but lapidary like rubies and obsidian, and diamond-colored cowspit streamers in the wind. And voting booths. And everyone in Balenciaga gowns with red corsages, and big dance palaces full of music and lights and racial impurity and gender confusion. And all the deities are creole, mulatto, brown as the mouths of rivers. Race, taste and history finally overcome. And you ain't there.

it’s born with us the day

“Why so much grief for me? No man will hurl me down to Death, against my fate. And fate? No one alive has ever escaped it, neither brave man nor coward, I tell you - it’s born with us the day that we are born.” ― Homer, The Iliad
