Alvy Singer: [addressing the camera] "There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly. " - Woody Allen, Annie Hall, 1977.

"I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it." - George Bernard Shaw

"Jazz is the last refuge of the untalented. Jazz musicians enjoy themselves more than anyone listening to them does."

drive to the forest in a japanese car
The smell of rubber on concrete tar
Hindsight done me no good
Standing naked in the back of the woods
The cassette played poptones

"An' I hate modern music,
Disco, boogie, pop,
They go on an' on an' on an' on an' on an' on ,
How I wish they would stop!"


"You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, "Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness." You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself." [takes out the ring and throws it in Holly's lap)
"Here. I've been carrying this thing around for months. I don't want it anymore."

"I think it's because I'm rich, handsome and a great player, they envy me - there's no other explanation." Cristiano Ronaldo on why people boo him. Just reverse that, and there i am ...

I heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life is harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor... I am Pagliacci." Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

    "LoC. A lovely human bean and a truly fine photographer, an admirable loon disguised as a wannabe rock god imported from the late 1970's.

    I lurk, he flosses.

    What more could a girl ask for?"

    "How have I not written Timmy my boy a testimonial yet? I had the pleasure of hanging out with LOC in his home a few weeks ago and we had an absolutely smashing time..he's a great host. He's also an extremely talented photographer. I just wish he didn't spend so much time trying to photograph men in bathrooms.. I can't imagine what he'd accomplish."

    "Tim and I spend every Saturday evening together watching Godzilla films and painting our toenails. Occasionally we will team up for croquet tournaments at the Puddingham Mortuary College, where we almost always place third. He would not like me saying this, but it is true that he authored the most widely-used book on bedbug identification. He also makes a lemon curd to die for, and he is not at all afraid of pheasants. At the Christmas pantomimes he laughs louder than anyone at Cinderella's stepsisters."

    If that rule was my Zag, then Love of Carnage would be a serious Zig. His shit rules, and you need to start realising it. Creative, fucker, impressive."

    "He's a homicidal maniac, a terrorist, and more often than not has revolutionary separatism on his mind. Implausibly, he's also known to file taxes on time and feed the old lady next door's cat when she's away.

    For these reasons and more, he's a giant among men.

    Apparently, he also takes photographs."

    He wanted to call himself Love of Cabbage because of his fondness of the great vegetable. So from this day on please call him Love of Cabbage."

    "If Tims pages were a party, there'd be a welcome at the door, a drink placed in your hand. Music, dance and fancy dress. Be warned, though, there's be fighting in the back at some point, sex on your coat, dogs in the trash, and furniture in the pool. Broken glass, a little blood, maybe even arson and home made tattoos.
    It is, if I may be so bold as to invent the phrase, "life less laundered"."

    "loveofcarnage2 has the most appropriate name on Flickr. At the forefront of the Massacre scene, he has slaughtered countless thousands in the pursuit of artistic excellence and innovation.

    His piece, "Canary nailed to a woman's bottom," received worldwide critical acclaim and got me so excited, I peed my pants.

    A gentleman, wit and effusive scholar, Carn's work will take you to a higher plain. A very bloody higher plain, where you can get a five course meal for under a tenner.

    Lip-smacking stuff."
