Tom Waits

My reality needs imagination like a bulb needs a socket. My imagination needs reality like a blind man needs a cane.

I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me than a prefrontal lobotomy.

I'm so horny the crack of dawn better watch out.

We define ourselves as intelligent. That's odd, because we're doing the definition - We're creating our own definition and saying, 'We are intelligent!'

Technology is characterized by constant change, rapid innovation, creative destruction, and revolutionary products.

After all, we are not French and never can be, and any attempt to be so is to deny our inheritance and to try to impose upon ourselves a character that can be nothing but a veneer upon the surface.
