EPIGRAMS FOR VIGILANTE FLUXUS

“I wanted to film everything but there are things we are not getting. The wild ass is in danger in Europe--we’ve got nothing on that. We’ve got nothing on intellectual elitism funded out of public money, an important subject. We’ve got nothing on ball lightning and nothing on the National Grid and not a foot on the core-mantle problem, the problem of a looped economy, or the interesting problem of the night brain. I wanted to get it all but there’s only so much time, so much energy.”
-Donald Barthelme, “The Film”

“And the stars reflected in the lake
Are water for all their twinkling
And bloodless for all their charm.
I have blood, and a song.”
-Owen Dodson, “Sorrow is the Only Faithful One”

“One day, I’m gonna say something really impressive.”
-Asher Roth, “Muddy Swim Trunks”
