| Bio: | "Why is it we want so badly to memorialize ourselves? Even while we're still alive. We wish to assert our existence, like dogs peeing on fire hydrants. We put on display our framed photographs, our parchment diplomas, our silver-plated cups; we monogram our linen, we carve our names on trees, we scrawl them on washroom walls. It's all the same impulse. What do we get from it? Applause, envy, respect? Or simply attention, of any kind we can get?
"At the very least we want a witness. We can't stand the idea of our own voices falling silent finally, like a radio running down."
--Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin
"Try not to want people to like you too much,
You’ll just need more and more flatteries to recharge your batteries,
And don't let showmanship get more important than honesty
if you don't want to be so many singers you see;
You don't have to act crazy to do something amazing--
You can be just like you should and still do something really good;
And even when you know there’s nobody listening,
say it to yourself cause it's good for your health..."
--Jeffrey Lewis, "Don't Let the Record Label Take You Out to Lunch"
"I begin again, Dr. Y,
this neverland journal,
full of my own sense of filth.
Why else keep a journal, if not
to examine your own filth?"
--Anne Sexton, "Letters to Dr. Y"
