Quotes by David Gordon (?)

“Real readers poison themselves with words. They close each book as though climbing, reborn, from a tomb.”
― David Gordon, White Tiger on Snow Mountain

“Anyway, that's all art school is. A big clusterfuck for rich poseurs. Who the fuck needs it? But it's a system, right? You have to go to the art schools to get into the galleries, to learn how to talk that bullshit. That's what they're learning, to talk bullshit.

The Serialist
David Gordon”
― David Gordon, The Serialist

“But unlike the person with exquisite taste in painting or perfume, the movie nerd is classless as well. Grasping the genius of Russ Meyer or George Romero or Herschell Gordon Lewis carries no cultural cachet and gets no one laid, believe me.”
― David Gordon, Mystery Girl
