Alarm clock Quote by Nick Tosches

“I've gone more than 40 years without having to use an alarm clock or go to an office. At this point, I don't think I'd be capable of not writing. I don't think I could deprive myself of that sky. It would be like putting an animal in a cage.” quote by Nick Tosches — Download Open image
