Quotes by Grant Morrison
-

Dead From the Waist Down on MTV. The humidity's making me horny and mad. I miss Robin. In his new book, Ken Wilbur calls it skin hunger. I feel like I'm building up a charge. Monsoon's on its way.
Read quote -
He read me extracts from a medical journal describing the progress of a staphylococcus aureus infection. And then he pleasured me with a potato.

If this book has made any point clear, I hope it's that things don't have to be real to be true. Or vice versa.
