How can we not love, just out and out love, this book
AND I HAVE ONE OF THOSE VERY LOUD, STUPID LAUGHS. I MEAN IF I EVER SAT BEHIND MYSELF IN A MOVIE OR SOMETHING, I’D PROBABLY LEAN OVER AND TELL MYSELF TO PLEASE SHUT UP.- J.D. Salinger
Its often forgotten that Ray Bradbury wrote not only Fahrenheit 451, but also The Martian Chronicles as well as dozens of successful screenplay.
BUT MOST OF ALL, I LIKE TO WATCH PEOPLE. SOMETIMES I RIDE THE SUBWAY ALL DAY AND LOOK AT THEM AND LISTEN TO THEM. I JUST WANT TO FIGURE OUT WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY WANT AND WHERE THEY ARE GOING.- Ray Bradbury
Beautifully written in its simplicity
“I looked up at the sky; the pure, wonderful stars were still
there, burning.”
- Jack Kerouac, On The Road
Wow, I think this is a great statement
“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so
absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”- Albert
Camus, The Outsider
The best thing
YOU KNOW,’ SHE SAID. ‘MISSING SOMEONE CAN SOMETIMES BE THE BEST THING FOR A WRITER.’

Words, I think, are such unpredictable creatures.
Words, I think, are such
unpredictable creatures. No gun, no sword, no army or king will ever be more
powerful than a sentence. Swords may cut and kill, but words will stab and
stay, burying themselves in our bones to become corpses we carry into the
future, all the time digging and failing to rip their skeletons from our flesh.
THERE ARE NO FASTER OR FIRMER FRIENDSHIPS THAN
THERE ARE NO FASTER OR FIRMER
FRIENDSHIPS THAN THOSE FORMED BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE SAME BOOKS.- Irving

George Bernard Shaw, Yousuf Karsh, 1943
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.
Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
Youth is wasted on the young.
Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not.
There is no love sincerer than the love of food.
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.
There are two tragedies in life. One is not to get your heart's desire. The other is to get it.
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

When Hunter S. Thompson died
When Hunter S. Thompson died, his ashes were shot out of a cannon on top of a custom built 153-foot tall tower shaped like his Gonzo logo. The funeral was funded by actor Johnny Depp.
So I write
"The things you are passionate about are not random. They are your calling."

wasted day writing
I spent an entire day writing a short story as it came to my head, sort of an auto writing thing...it didn't work. What I had at the end were three pages of garbage, just garbage. Goddam commas.
That just isn't my writing style. I won't do that again.
