  • Craig Stone Quote #1

    A watched pot never boils, but if I took my eyes from these negative thoughts for a second they would spill over the edges of my lips, and boil the beautiful moment alive as we lived it.


  • Craig Stone Quote #2

    Ask questions then talk over answers, shout loudly you love everyone, try and hug people, confide in them that you are a sheep, offer them the last grass in your pockets.
    Then watch with a smile as they pretend you aren't there, and whisper you must be crazy, because you want to make friends.

  • Craig Stone Quote #3

    At the end of the world the sunset is like a child smashing a pack of crayons into God’s face.

  • Craig Stone Quote #4

    Blobfish, the guy who snapped a hamsters neck, myself, the homeless guy who has never thrown a punch (but has killed a fox) and Dickface, the man obsessed with trees and touching himself in public, follow an arrogant midget into the home of a pale creature I am certain will kill us all, to save the life of an ungrateful bastard parrot called Madness.
    The temperature drops further.
    A cold night for heroes.

  • Craig Stone Quote #5

    Cambodian dust whipped up in the wind and stuck to my clothes like clay. I put a hand between my face and the sun and blinked Phnom Penn dust from my tired eyes. One idea, drink, beamed light in all directions across my dark consciousness.
    A slim lady walked toward me with a big smile and a bigger head. Her left hand rested on her waggling hips and her right hand rose above her head, limp-wristed, like she’d just thrown a winning ball toward a basket and was leaving her hand in the shot position. The lady walking toward me was a man. At least that much was clear, but the nature or our relationship was still a fog to me. She wore blue jeans and a white top accentuating her breasts, but her Adam’s apple and cow sized hands revealed more in daylight than she could hide at night.

  • Craig Stone Quote #6

    Friday dusk becomes Friday evening. The park is feverish with life. A young Asian man screams into his mobile phone, not stopping to listen: a young man with his heart in his penis.

  • Craig Stone Quote #7

    He brings the cigarette butt to his mouth and lights up. He breathes in, and coughs; a rattling helicopter with a broken blade crashing into a herd of trombone playing sheep falling off a cliff into a DIY shop with a discount on spanners.

  • Craig Stone Quote #8

    His smile is a stranger resting on a haunted face, only coming out for poisons turning him into a ghost.

  • Craig Stone Quote #9

    Humans are born free then put into cages, then convinced freedom is what being in a cage is, and what freedom is, is being in a cage.

  • Craig Stone Quote #10

    I don’t want to wake up. I can’t feel the cold of life. I can’t feel fear in my dreams. When awake we are green and red bits glowing under a machine, lights turn off and on, and people of science convince themselves they know what’s going on. Backs are patted, hand are shaken. Test, record, collect. They tell us what we already know. We are all dying, dying slow. When awake, there is a feeling of impending doom, and if you can’t feel it, close your eyes, or open them further. When we’re in a box underground, heaven is finally above us, but it’s not in the sky. Heaven is the planet we lived on, and all of the angels are people. Here, in a dream, it’s just me floating in the back of my mind, among parts we don’t fully understand.

  • Craig Stone Quote #11

    I listened to the crashing thundering of a tiny tear tumbling like a wave down her beautiful face.

  • Craig Stone Quote #12

    I stared up in disbelief at the information my eyes fed my brain, and lost myself to the stars.
    For the first time in my life I had a greater idea of how infinitesimally small our planet really is and, furthermore, how tiny and insignificant I am in the grand scheme of the vast universe.
    I took a seat on a rock next to Lily and took in the moment to comprehend the vastness of everything else, and the incredible smallness of I.

  • Craig Stone Quote #13

    I was just another lost soul screaming through the paper thin hotel walls into the ears of the fucked.

  • Craig Stone Quote #14

    I was staying in a hotel in San Francisco for a couple of nights, before flying back to the UK. My hotel was a desperate grey block made from paper and people’s screams. At night the sound of strangers having icy sex echoed off the building and poured through the broken air conditioning, like tiny daggers I couldn't see, reminding me of just the tip of what I was missing.

  • Craig Stone Quote #15

    If humans did not manufacture some of their own to appear like better people, people would not aspire to be someone else. They would stop dreaming. And if people didn't dream, they would be awake to discover the wonderful misery of being. There are no singular great people. There is only a small percentage of people manufactured to look significant, for the purpose of creating the feeling of mass insignificance.

  • Craig Stone Quote #16

    If humans had nothing to fight for, they would fight for nothing.

  • Craig Stone Quote #17

    In the end, they will say this of the human race: they had the freedom to go anywhere, but sat in front of the television. They were each responsible for saving the world, but they turned over the channel.

  • Craig Stone Quote #18

    Love is born from disagreeing over something we believe in. Hate is born from disagreeing over something we fear.

  • Craig Stone Quote #19

    My eyes open after my mind. All eyes always do.

  • Craig Stone Quote #20

    My landlord lives in the flat at the bottom of the stairs. I rent a studio flat from him, and live at the top of the staircase. There are two more flights of stairs and four more flats, but it’s me he is obsessed with.

  • Craig Stone Quote #21

    Nobody has to do anything wrong to end up living a life that feels like it’s not their own, all they have to do is take a step back, and hope for the best.

  • Craig Stone Quote #22

    Once upon a time humans faced each other and pulled thoughts from minds, advanced rapidly, revolutionised industry and evolved explosively. Then one day they stopped, and stared at a box. They grew fat and awkward in public, stopped expressing emotions and couldn't figure out how to reverse it: they reinvented themselves from Emperors back into prawns, because someone turned the TV on.

  • Craig Stone Quote #23

    Our problems come not from what we believe, but from how we believe in what we do.

  • Craig Stone Quote #24

    Parents raise children then grow old, and their children forget the things their old parents did for them, because their brains don’t remember before they grew selfish.
    There are buildings all over the world full of old people sitting around looking out of windows, full of hate for their selfish sons and daughters.
    And meanwhile, the selfish sons and daughters look out of their windows at their children playing and think how wonderful their unbreakable bond of love is between them and their children.

  • Craig Stone Quote #25

    She danced like no one was watching, but she knew that I was.

  • Craig Stone Quote #26

    Sleep doesn't come easy when a broken twig conjures images of a hulking mental patient snapping the arms off children, over by the bin.

  • Craig Stone Quote #27

    Small quarrels and tensions were expected because of our new environment. Every relationship has them. Each quarrel was soon forgotten and floated away on a wave. And then sometimes, on our silly days, the arguments returned on the wave, but the wave returned taller, a Tsunami, and neither of us knew where to run or what to do.

  • Craig Stone Quote #28

    Some days I am the flower beneath the machine. And the machine rolls slowly on, blocking the sun, without a care for what it tramples beneath.

  • Craig Stone Quote #29

    Some humans have a notion covering up their face makes them stand out to other people who don’t notice them, because they look like everyone else.
    They take away the beauty of individuality, by building their faces on fake foundations.
    They all want to look the same, but have no reason to flock together.

  • Craig Stone Quote #30

    Stale beer sticks to wobbling tables. The cigarette machine flashes in the corner, mocking smokers who never have any change on them. There’s no natural light in this pub, so it’s dark and gloomy. The pain on the face of the staff tells its own story: overworked, underpaid, exploited and treated as expendable. I feel at home with them. They’re so scared they will be fired from their terrible jobs, every time I order a beer they ask me if I want any peanuts or crisps, in case between drinks I’ve turned into the dreaded mystery shopper. The air is chewy and weighs heavy on the skin. The fruit machines in the corners don’t make a sound, aware this is the last stop saloon for the drunk few who can’t afford to gamble properly. Everyone here is down to their last pint and pound.
