A recurring theme in my work is “It’s always worth it”. What is? War. To live a scandalous life if that is what gives you pleasure. To provoke. To flaunt. To never take a backwards step except when that is the politic thing to do to ensure that you advance forwards & upwards faster than ever. A labyrinth involves many turnings back upon yourself, that is the only way to get through it. When people attack you for something, to make a point of doing it more than ever.

This is the ethos of the Marquis de Vaccine and of this great organ.

Don’t hide your light under a bushel? I disagree. Yes, hide it, makes it all the funnier then that they have no idea quite how great you are. You’ve got to hide your love away said Lennon. 

The double life is absolutely essential—in order to save your life.
