― Morrissey
142 " I was looking for a job and then I found a job, and heaven knows I'm miserable now. "
143 " Rush to danger; wind up nowhere. "
144 " Hang the D.J. "
145 " I'd rather be remembered as a big-mouthed failure than an effete little wimp. "
146 " These were times when all were judged squarely and fairly on their musical tastes, and a personal music collection read as private medical records. "
― Morrissey , Autobiography
147 " We watch in order to find ecstasy, for at last we can survive in someone else. "
148 " We live in forgotten Victorian knife-plunging Manchester, where everything lies wherever it was left over one hundred years ago. The safe streets are dimly lit, the others not lit at all, but both represent a danger that you’re asking for should you find yourself out there once curtains have closed for tea. "
149 " David Bowie is detached from everything, yet open to everything; stripped of the notion that both art and life are impossible. "

158 " the search for a listener is fruitless. "
159 " I am adrift. At 21, penniless in a world of plausible excuses, I am alone with my goals. These are difficult years, and if anything loving lay ahead I was already paying a large enough price. At my lowest in these years of signing on, I do not fit in anywhere with the family philosophy, and these days set the tempo of the times- even for the days when the sun re-enters the room.
