“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”
Nineteen Eighty-Four

dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night . . .”
“Howl”
“And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.”
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
“It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents, except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the house-tops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.”
Paul Clifford
“April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.”
“The Waste Land”
“Dashed hopes and good intentions. Good, better, best, bested.”

“We real cool. We
Left school. We
Lurk late. We
Strike straight”
“We Real Cool”

Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.”
