I have an interest in what people say. It gives me pause sometimes when some stranger is quoted something they had said that seems to ring true. How about putting down something somebody else supposedly said that seems to ring true with you...
"We’re all going to die.
All of us,
what a circus!
That alone should make us
Love each other but, it doesn’t.
We are terrorized
and flattened by trivialities,
we are eaten up
by nothing."
-Charles Bukoski
Seems I became a giant at my 40th high school reunion....Who are all these old shriveled up guys that I now tower over. Oh how I wish the school bully wasn't in such bad shape that to re-pick on him would have been too easy.....[}]
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared
(Saying, "Don't be afraid")
I heard this as a young man, then I started riding motorbicycles...
Twain was a cat fancier, "When a man loves cats, I am his friend and comrade, without further introduction." MT
"Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat." - Mark Twain
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
John Goodman is a great character actor. Truly, larger than life and lovable, even in his most dangerous roles. He has been a frequent actor in the Cohen Brothers films.
"The Big Lebowski"
Walter Sobchak (John Goodman): You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Not in 'Nam of course.
The Dude (Jeff Bridges): And, you know, he's got emotional problems, man.
Walter Sobchak: You mean … beyond pacifism?
"Raising Arizona"
Gale Snoats (John Goodman): "We released ourselves on our own recognizance." Gale explaining to H.I. McDonough how he and his brother Evelle have left prison by digging out encountering a sewer pipe along the way.
"Oh Brother, Where Art Thou"
Big Dan Teague (John Goodman): You don't say much my friend, but when you do it's to the point, and I salute you for it.
"Barton Fink"
[Barton is ranting about elitist playwrights]
Barton (John Turturro): Who cares about the fifth Earl of Bathsdrop and Lady Higgenbottom and... and... who killed Nigel Grinchgibbons?
Charlie (John Goodman): I can feel my butt gettin' sore already!
Apologizing does not always mean that you're wrong and that the other person is right. It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.
