Over many years, I collected a useful group of quotes, outside of Shakespeare, material that, as it turns out, I’ve used time and again. All in Pink Cake, which is nothing more the a list of my favorite quotations, as of the book’s publication date. I seemed to have plateaued at that point, so it was pushed out as a book. Still a useful compilation, and as a source, one I turn to frequently.
The iTunes version is best, as it is cheap and searchable.

Pink Cake: A Commonplace Book
Been more than three years now that I’ve been in residency as a frequently infrequent practitioner at the rock shop in Austin — see listing — astrofish.net/travel — for details and current times.
Some days are back-to-back, and some days, I have enough idle time to wander the store, fondling the merchandise and playing with the staff. Love that place.
The other afternoon, I noted a typical Austin person, attired thusly — Aries — not that it matters, and some ink caught my eye.
Kurt Quote
“Thanks for the tragedy
I need for my art.”
— K. Cobain
Always interested in easy fact-checking, I plugged it in, and the search yielded more art, plus, a bonus of sorts, the handwritten version, or an image thereof, in the original.
Woman wearing the ink claimed it was a replica of Kurt’s handwritten note. Facts checked out.
I regret such a fabulous quote is in a suicide note, precludes me from using it more than as a passing reference. Still, intriguing art.
