When nothing in society deserves respect, we should fashion for ourselves in solitude new silent loyalties.

I had it on noseslides for a long time because it's an incredibly easy trick that I ate ABSOLUTE shit on. My toe was off the nose just a hair, I stuck to the ledge and I flew right to my chin. Had to relearn them like a punk.
