want ifs
If you want to create, you'll create...
lonely self pity
I wasn’t lonely. I experienced no self-pity. I was just caught up in a life in which I could find no meaning.
victory defeat small-victories
I am a series of small victories and large defeats and I am as amazed as any other that I have gotten from there to here.
women boys high-heels
you boys can keep your virgins give me hot old women in high heels with asses that forgot to get old.
men envy hell
Never envy a man his lady. Behind it all lays a living hell.
humanity
Humanity, you never had it to begin with.
sleep cat waiting
In my next life I want to be a cat. To sleep 20 hours a day and wait to be fed. To sit around licking my ass.
sick people needs
People need me. I fill them. If they can't see me for a while they get desperate, they get sick. But if I see them too often I get sick. It's hard to feed without getting fed.
men causes made
I am a dolt of a man, easily made happy or even stupidly happy almost without cause and left alone I am mostly content.
jobs profession full-time-jobs
A woman is a full time job. You have to choose your profession.
love-is firsts
love be damned now as love was damned when it first arrived.
play often-is giving
When you play the field selfishly everything works against you: one can’t insist on love or demand affection. you’re finally left with whatever you have been willing to give which often is: nothing.
travel thinking trouble
I don't think I'll travel anymore. Travel is nothing but an inconvenience. There is always enough trouble where you are.
world mines
I kept telling myself that all the women in the world weren´t whores, just mine.
