“Everything is going according to plan in this strategically fathomed notion of "country" where the population wholeheartedly believes in that fabled myth known as democracy. The corporations that profit from our endless war campaigns, who have a multifarious number of politicians at the top of their covert letterheads and on payroll always get what they pay for - a route to even more of our tax dollars. The status quo doesn't change with the election of any given politician, whether it be in the Senate, the Congress, or even the White House. This nation (i.e. notion) is, in and of itself, nothing but an ingeniously designed corporation that uses you and I to further perpetuate the myth of country, the myth of united, the myth of democracy, and the myth of patriotism. We have long passed the point where we the people sat on the tongue of this monstrosity. We now reside in the belly of the beast.”

― Corey Taylor, You're Making Me Hate You: A Cantankerous Look at the Common Misconception That Humans Have Any Common Sense Left

― Jacqueline Simon Gunn, Let Love Rule

“The selfishness makes for a million "butts and farts" running around, convinced they'll never be happy unless they get precisely what they want. I don't know whether it's what personal freedom persuades us to think we need or it's just because, with so many things around us so readily available, like information and technology, we have developed an addition to instant gratification. Either way, we're all a bunch of spoiled brats wandering th galactic pebble, yelling and arguing when we don't get what we want.
LIFE'S NOT THE INTERNET, FUCKHOLES!”
― Corey Taylor, You're Making Me Hate You: A Cantankerous Look at the Common Misconception That Humans Have Any Common Sense Left

I know that love is rare. And, if you lose it, there's a good chance you'll never find it again. I know that weakness manifests itself in fear and selfishness, which is why many people are unhappy and will remain unhappy. I know that the truth hurts. But what do I know?”
― Wayne Gerard Trotman

But first, it will get worse.”

“She was writing poems
about being sad and suicidal,
Everyone appreciated & applauded,
and her poem went viral,

But no one asked her
if she was better now,
What did it take for her to write
something that no one cared about?

Well, the art gets sold,
The emotion involved gets aesthetic,
Everyone cares about the art,
Not so much about the artist.”
― Ritu Negi, Ethereal
