Quote Of The Day
‘Save your preach, cop. I reject everything, man. And it’s not because I’m unhappy or confused or afraid of reality. See, I can, I can, chew up the nastiest tastes reality has to dish out, man. And if reality serves me up some raw sewage, man – I’ll, I’ll slurp up a whole toilet-bowl full and call it ambrosia.’
