A felon's cell-- The fittest earthly type of hell!

Only one thing has to matter for everything to matter.

I had to gain experience as I did not have a technical education.

Do not talk to me of goodness, of abstract justice, of nature law. Necessity is the highest law, public welfare is the highest justice.

Love trumps everything. Love's decision will not always be kind to your artistic life.
