BOOKS/ Scum - Valerie Solanas

I imagine her sitting up tight on her imaginary throne, in the lobby of the Chelsea... I acquired this edition (1968) about ten years ago, and its value has since become priceless. For those unfamiliar with her, she once attempted to take Warhol's life in a fit of jealousy. "He had too much control over my life", she said.

“I desire the things that will destroy me in the end.”  

“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.” 

“Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing.”

― Sylvia Plath

LETTERS/ On levity

Levity. noun [ U ] formal - As a trait of character refers to a disposition to exhibit lightness or humor in manner or attitude, often even in situations that are serious or solemn. People with levity tend to approach life with a playful, cheerful, or buoyant spirit, often using humor as a tool to lighten the mood or diffuse tense situations. Their lightheartedness can be refreshing and bring joy to others, but if overused or applied inappropriately, it can sometimes be perceived as insensitivity or lack of seriousness.
