On the meaning of you're done

And you better not be angry
and you'd better not be sad
you'd better just enjoy
the luxury of sympathy
if thats a luxury you have

and you know no private bad
you know that that's the meaning of you're done
in a world that's not so bad
in a world that time is killing in the sun

- Built To Spill, Velvet Waltz

On memories

Cowboy does not intend that the memory should ever die. There are memories that live for him as his present reality does not, and he shines them daily, like the finish of a fine new car, to keep them bright.

- Walter Jon Williams, Hardwired

On drugs

Dope comes in just two dosages: too much and not enough.
