"'art is all about finding the paint job that turned the donkey into the zebra' and old man on a cider farm told me"
"painting something that defies the law of the land is good. painting something that defies the law of the land and the laws of gravity at the same time is ideal"
"..there is no point behaving yourself. you'll be punished for something you never did anyway. people get it wrong all the time."
"become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else"
"We cant do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves."
"if you want someone to be ignored, then build a lifesize bronze statue of them and stick it in the middle of a town. it doesn't matter how great you were, it always takes an unfunny drunk with climbing skills to make people notice you."
