O Captain, My Captain: Lish Power Quote #4 & 5

girls

Scare myself, change the terms, rearrange the rules, let recklessness overtake me, see if I can outrun habit, make a friend of chaos.
My Romance, pg 25

Extra bonus righteousness for your Captain-buck quote:

Yes, yes, yes, yes, writers, fucking writers, fucking rewriters, fucking usurpers, fucking assassins. Skip it, names. I am sick of it, names. Me, I will see you in the lobby.
My Romance, pg 141
