This passion for wanting to meet the latest poet, shake hands with the latest novelist, get hold of the latest painter, devour ... what is it? What is it they want from a man that they didn't get from his work? What do they expect? What is there left of him when he's done his work? What's any artist, but the dregs of his work? the human shambles that follows it around. What's left of the man when the work's done but a shambles of apology.
That's one of my favorite quotes from the book

that information was relayed to you over a private IRC channel during a manic episode, and you know it.

Goatstein you remind me of this part in "From Hell" where it shows all the sick minds that go into writing those freaky letters to the police. I always think of you as the religious father of four who's wanking it while writing about cutting off some breasts.

Im fit + married + mentally healthy + successful. Maybe you should be moar like me
you are ugly and hate yourself more than you hate other people so i'm not sure why anyone would want to be like you and wallow in utter misery (but not the good kind of hopeless despair, but rather jealousy and spite)
