When we come to planet earth, we don't come in a Ralph Lauren shirt or a dress by a local brand or even rags. We come naked. All of us- you, me, superstars, beggars, visionaries...

&quot;Perhaps the true memorial should be a statue of a gaunt soldier in a threadbare overcoat with a Molotov cocktail in his hand. But then, I don&#039;t suppose many people would want to have their photos taken beside him&quot; - Christopher Robins

Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What&#039;s that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you&#039;re too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you&#039;re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating... and then you finish off as an orgasm
