"All I liked to do was walk around the streets with a heart full of napalm."
Iggy Pop (Please Kill Me)

"The reason I wrote that song was out of spite for Richard Hell, because he told me he was gonna write a song better than Lou Reed's 'Heroin,' so I went home and wrote 'Chinese Rocks.'"

Dee Dee Ramones (Please Kill Me)
"Ça vous fait vomir? Alors, allez-y, vomissez-moi! Il doit bien y avoir d'autres féministes que vous."
Olga (Les Samouraïs)

"You sure to be derided by the Rambo-Liddy-Ollie North steroid gang... and the conventional-wisdom experts."

Timothy Leary

"... mais encore d'avoir eu ses premiers sentiments modelés par les plus douces des soeurs, et non par d'horribles frères toujours prêts aux coups de poing, horrid pugilistic brothers..."

Baudelaire/De Quincey

"We were just being cool, watching the band, and a bunch of fraternity guys came up and started fucking with Fred, slapping him on the back of the head and saying, 'Are you a boy or a girl?'"

Wayne Kramer (Please Kill Me)
"And there's Iggy dancing around like Waiting for Godot meets the ballet. He wasn't like Roger Daltrey..."
John Sinclair (Please Kill Me)
"I thought these people were innocent little virgin girls!"
Malcolm McLaren (Please Kill Me)

"I didn't think Teenage Jesus should mingle with the audience, even if to attack them. Don't touch those bastards, let'em just sit there in horror!"

Eileen Polk (Please Kill Me)

"Other people have imaginary playmates, but Patti had imaginary playmates who were Keith Richards..."

Penny Arcade (Please  Kill Me)

"And I could identify with her because I was doing the same thing, keeping journals, writing mash notes to dead people, and here she was doing it in a much more confident way..."

Duncan Hannah (Please Kill Me)

"... une espèce de philanthropie plutôt faite de pitié que d'amour (c'est ainsi que se montre le premier germe de l'esprit satanique qui se développera d'une manière extraordinaire), mais qui va jusqu'à la crainte d'affliger qui que ce soit, on devine ce que peut devenir la sentimentalité localisée, appliquée à une personne chérie, jouant ou ayant joué un rôle important dans la vie morale du malade."

"La hideuse nature, dépouillée de son illumination de la veille, ressemble aux mélancoliques débris d'une fête. La volonté surtout est attaquée, de toutes les facultés la plus précieuse."

Baudelaire (Les Paradis artificiels)

"I alone am still born, showing no sign of life,

Like a baby that has not yet smiled.

Wearied: I have nowhere to go to...

Common folk shine; I alone am gloomy;

Common folk excel; I alone am downcast...

Everyone has good reasons; I alone have a bumpkin's stubbornness.

I long to be alone and am unlike others, for I appreciate sucking my mother's milk."

Daodejing/20 (Edmund Ryden's translation)

"... la musique et la drogue ont des traits différentiels qui les mettent du côté d'une machine de guerre nomade (la machine de guerre a pour objet, non pas la guerre, mais le tracé d'une ligne de fuit créatrice)"

"... un chormatisme élargi porte à la fois la musique et la métallurgie"

Deleuze & Guattari, Mille Plateaux

"Pure experience is an animated state with maximum freedom in which there is not the least gap between the will's demand and its fulfillment."

Kitaro Nishida
"People want their rock stars to go further out on the edge and hang out there for a bit, take a good long look at that abyss, and then transmit what they find there through their art. Ian Curtis did it. Kurt Cobain did it. So did Robert Smith, except he didn't just look at the abyss, he was on intimate terms with it..."
"... we had our introduction to some new American music in the shape of Mission of Burma, whom we immediately liked. We felt a kinship to them. To my mind they were the precursors of bands like Sonic Youth."
Lol Tolhurst (Cured: the tale of two imaginary boys)
"Others who were minor or background figures at the time went on to achieve later success in a different guise, such as Bjork, the KLF, Beastie Boys, Jane's Addiction, and Sonic Youth... There are dozens of bands who made landmark albums but never achieved more than an abiding cult status, earning the dubious consolation prize of being an influence and reference point for the '90s alt-rock megabands (Gang of Four begot Red Hot Chili Peppers, Throbbing Gristle sired Nine Inch Nails, Talking Heads even supplied Radiohead with their name...)"
Simon Reynolds 

"Warburg insiste pour dire que le séisme du temps atteint l'appareil inscripteur lui-même: lorsque surviennent — ou souviennent — les ondes du temps, le très sensible sismographe tremble sur ses bases... il transmet donc le séisme à l'extérieur comme connaissance, mais également à l'intérieur de lui-même comme expérience, où il risque de se perdre..."

Didi-Huberman
"Eine lange lateinische Abhandlung in Einer Nachtwache niederzuschreiben und auch noch ab-zuschreiben, mit dem Ehrgeiz in der Feder, es meinem Vorbilde Sallust in Strenge und Gedrängtheit nachzuthun, und einigen Grog von schwerstem Kaliber über mein Latein zu gießen, dies stand schon, als ich Schüler der ehrwürdigen Schulpforta war, durchaus nicht im Widerspruch zu meiner Physiologie, noch vielleicht auch zu der des Sallust — wiesehr auch immer zur ehrwürdigen Schulpforta..."

"So wie ich mich immer gewöhnt habe — eine extreme Lauterkeit gegen mich ist meine Daseins-Voraussetzung, ich komme um unter unreinen Bedingungen —, schwimme und bade und plätschere ich gleichsam beständig im Wasser, in irgend einem vollkommen durchsichtigen und glänzenden Elemente."

"Dies ist die fremdartigste 'Objektivität', die es geben kann: die absolute Gewißheit darüber, was ich bin, projicirte sich auf irgend eine zufällige Realität, — die Wahrheit über mich redete aus einer schauervollen Tiefe."

Nietzsche

***To raise the dead— &/or evidence for the villainous affair, the tale of family disonour, Romish church's pact with the devil (considered the greatest outrage against sense and decency, to be plagued and pestered, though solemnly ratified, à Dieu rien n'est impossible, menteur avéré, nom d'un chien):

"Although Greek names were sometimes applied to the church modes and the principle of diatonic octave scales is found in both systems, certain significant discrepancies seem to belie any direct historical connection. Most conspicuous is the different meaning attributed to the names of the Greek octave species and of the church modes. Comparing the two systems provides a plausible explanation: medieval theorists apparently assumed wrongly that the Greek octave species were named in ascending rather than descending order. The Greek octave species Dorian (E–E), Phrygian (D–D), Lydian (C–C), and Mixolydian (B–B) thus appeared in the church modes as Dorian (D–D), Phrygian (E–E), Lydian (F–F), and Mixolydian (G–G)," (from "Mode," entry in Brittanica, by Mieczyslaw Kolinski);

- 'For me, poetry is photography and poetry can be virtually anything—painting, sculpture, video/audio piece, installation, performance, etc… As Allen Ginsberg told me when we first met, “Poetry is like a radio station that broadcasts long after you’re dead.” I started out as a poet and journalist and I think now more than ever is a good time for both poetry and journalism, through all means and mediums necessary.' (Why Slava Mogutin is Russia’s greatest art rebel, Dazed); 

- 'Even as dogs have become beloved pets in the U.S., treated as members of the family, with harsh punishments for those who abuse them, the behavior of corporate and academic entities that subject dogs to gruesome experimentations has barely changed. It’s a strange hypocrisy: Individuals may not abuse these animals, but corporations can...' (Bred do Suffer: Inside the Barbaric U.S. Industry of Dog Experimentation, The Intercept);

- 'On a hot Friday evening in France last month, Jean-Luc Brunel was revelling in his natural habitat: a lavish party packed with the rich and beautiful... Thysia Huisman, then an 18-year-old Dutch model staying at the apartment, alleged that one such evening in September 1991, she began feeling woozy after being given a drink by Brunel, and was taken to his bedroom. "I recall him lying on top of me, me trying to push him off,' she said in an interview. 'I remember trying to move, but not really being able to. Like almost being paralysed..."'
