We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be. We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be. If you can do a half-assed job of anything, you're a one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind. Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion . . . . I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward. Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile! Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything. Life happens too fast for you ever to think about it. If you could just persuade people of this, but they insist on amassing information. |
