I think about all this sometimes when I’m watching a football game with Patrick and Sam. I look at the field, and I think about the boy who just made the touchdown. I think that these are the glory days for that boy, and this moment will just be another story someday because all the people who make touchdowns and home runs will become somebody’s dad. And when his children look at his yearbook photograph, they will think that their dad was rugged and handsome and looked a lot happier than they are.
I just hope I remember to tell my kids that they are as happy as I look in my old photographs. And I hope that they believe me.Speaker: Stephen ChboskyPosted: 20 Aug 2008 at 4:31 PMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
“'Grok’ means all of these. It means 'fear,’ it means 'love,’ it means 'hate’ – proper hate, for by the Martian 'map,’ you cannot hate anything unless you grok it, understand it so thoroughly that you merge with it and it merges with you – then you can hate. By hating yourself. But this implies that you love it, too, and cherish it and would not have it otherwise. Then you can hate .”

As one enlarges his ability to get others to understand him, he opens up to that extent his opportunity for usefulness. Certainly in our society, where it is necessary for many for them even in the simplest matters to co-operate with each other, it is necessary first of all to understand each other. Language is the principal conveyor of understanding, and so we must learn to use it, not crudely but discriminatingly.

“Democracy is a poor system; the only thing that can be said for it is that it is eight times as good as any other method. It’s worst fault is that its leaders reflect their constituents – a low level, but what can you expect? So look at Douglas and ponder that, in his ignorance, stupidity, and self-seeking, he resembles his fellow Americans but is a notch or two above average.”

“So I will tell you something. Listen. Listen closely.
Of all that breathes and crawls across the earth,
Our mother earth breeds nothing feebler than a man.
So long as the gods grant him power, spring in his knees,
He thinks he will never suffer affliction down the years.
But then, when the happy gods bring on the long hard times,
Bear them he must, against his will, and steel his heart.
Our lives, our mood and mind as we pass across the earth,
Turn as the days turn…
As the father of men and gods makes each day dawn.” AmphinomusSpeaker: HomerPosted: 20 Aug 2008 at 10:47 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
How do people, like, not curse? How is it possible? There are all these gaps in speech where you just have to put a “fuck.” I’ll tell you who the most admirable people in the world are: newscasters. If that was me, I’d be like, “And the motherfuckers flew the fucking plane right into the Twin Towers.” How could you not, if you’re a human being? Maybe they’re not so admirable. Maybe they’re robot zombies.

“I wouldn’t take too much notice of what Didier says. He can be very superficial, especially when he’s being serious. He’s the kind who gets right down to the skin of things, if you know what I mean. I told him once he’s so shallow that the best he can manage is a single entendre. The funny thing is, he liked it. I’ll say this for Didier, you can’t insult him.”

It seems to me a lot of trouble in this world has its origins in vague speech. Most people, when they go around not speaking clearly, somewhere in their unconscious they’re asking for trouble
