Promise in the stars



"We can't all be stars because someone has to sit on the curb and clap as I go by."

"You may look back on your life and accept it as good or evil. But it is far, far harder to admit that you have been completely unimportant; that in the great sum of things all a man's endless grapplings are no more significant than the scuttlings of a cockroach. The universe is neither friendly nor hostile. It is merely indifferent. This makes me ecstatic. I have reached a nirvana of negativity. I can look futility in the face and still see promise in the stars."

"Being well-dressed gives a feeling of inward tranquility which psychoanalysis is powerless to bestow."


Sebastian Horsley (8 August 1962 – 17 June 2010)
