Clock Quotes

Already the writers are complaining that there is too much freedom. They need some pressure. The worse your daily life, the better your art. If you have to be careful because of oppression and censorship, this pressure produces diamonds.

Enzyme love, split me from the world
whose bond to me is solitude.

Free my blood of inhibition,
my brain's accumulated walls

of constant regulation,
over-concentrated will.

Consume in airless darkness
concerts of sour dreams.

I burn for this conversion.
Lead me to the pathway.

Transport me from environment,
from cellular compartment

to the open system, energy,
the cycle I was born to.
