The Dark Circle

Whatever the songs and the greeting cards tell you, love is not enough or all you need, you need your common sense.

Words don't come from the dictionary, they aren't born there, they come up from the streets, from humans like you who make new ones or change the use of ones that already exist. You are the origin of words, not books.

Wasn’t it true that life was better when something mattered, even if it was just putting on your war paint in the morning?

Why do people buy flowers when they die so quick? To have something nice to look at, to cheer themselves up, particularly on a depressing rainy day.

Everyone judges you on what you look like on the outside, that’s how this country works. If you want people to take you as a labourer, wear a cap; if you want to be taken for a gentleman, wear a Homburg hat.
