"We should write as we dream; we should even try and write, we should all do it for ourselves, it’s very healthy, because it’s the only place where we never lie. At night we don’t lie. Now if we think that our whole lives are built on lying -- they are strange buildings -- we should try and write as our dreams teach us; shamelessly, fearlessly, and by facing what is inside every human being -- sheer violence, disgust, terror, shit, invention, poetry. In our dreams we are criminals; we kill, and we kill with a lot of enjoyment. But we are also the happiest people on earth; we make love as we never make love in life."
— Helene Cixous

From THE LONG, HOT SUMMER (thanks, Mr Faulkner):

Ben: I can see that you don't like me, but you're gonna have me — it's gonna be you and me.

Clara: Not the longest day I live.

Ben: Yes, sir, they're gonna say, 'There goes that poor old Clara Varner whose father married her off to a dirt-scratching, shiftless, no-good farmer who just happened by.' Well, let them talk, but I'll tell you one thing, you're gonna wake up in the morning smiling.

sutpen to be said for that. :)
night y'all.
