Just a perfect day, problems all left alone.

~ Lou Reed

They listen to the music of idiots and amuse themselves with the sordid miseries of their businesses. They are not the things of angels or of any higher outpost that humanity might aspire to. Your loathsome vomitous businessman king is of the lowest order, his advisors crumbling mockeries of education driven by avarice. My love, dress them in the suits of mockery, and in their advanced state of stupidity and senility, burn and destroy them, so their ashes might join the compost which they so much deserve.

~ Lou Reed

I think it's pretentious to create art just for the sake of stroking the artists ego.

~ Lou Reed

I think life is far too short to concentrate on your past. I rather look into the future.
