QUOTES
Who quotes themselves? I haven’t had the exposure for these to get out there in circulation, but I wanted to show my abilities, not just as an author, but as a thinker. If I die before they do, well here they are. Like Voltaire, Bertrand Russell, Tupac Shakur, Charles Bukowski, George Carlin, and most of the great authors, I try and include as much wisdom in my art form as I can, and so many of these quotes you can find in my work, along with many more than just those in this list. Copy and paste them on your digital hallmark holiday cards, if you wish.
