More From Daniel Handler

You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.

You can be an artist without visual images, a reader without eyes, a mass of erudition with a bad elementary memory. in almost any subject your passion for the subject will save you. if you only care enough for a result, you will almost certainly attain it. if you wish to be rich, you will be rich; if you wish to be learned, you will be learned; if you wish to be good, you will be good. only you must, then, really wish these things, and wish them with exclusiveness, and not wish at the same time a hundred other incompatible things just as strongly.

Everybody gets a tag. if you listen to a velvet underground record, you don't think, 'godfathers of punk.' you just think, 'this sounds great.' the tags are there in order to help try to sell something by giving it a name that's going to stick in somebody's memory. but it doesn't describe it. so 'depressing' isn't a word i would use to describe my music. but there is some sadness in it -- there has to be, so that the happiness in it will matter.
