We have almost succeeded in leveling all human activities to the common denominator of securing the necessities of life and providing for their abundance.

Your body is the church where Nature asks to be reverenced.

Marquis de Sade

The only artists I have ever known who are personally delightful are bad artists. Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are. A great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating. The worse their rhymes are, the more picturesque they look. The mere fact of having published a book of second-rate sonnets makes a man quite irresistible. He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize.

Oscar Wilde

Scott Ian

I always say now that I'm in my blonde years. Because since the end of my marriage, all of my girlfriends have been blonde.
