Notable Quotes

❝ My name is Octave and I dress in APC. I am an advertiser: yes, I pollute the universe. I am the one who sells you all that sh..t. The one who makes you dream of things you will never have. Always blue skies, always beautiful girls, perfect happiness, retouched in Photoshop. Slick images, music in the wind.
