fate people brilliant
History is filled with brilliant people who wanted to fix things and just made them worse.
fate night escaping
There's no escaping fate, it just keeps going. Day and night, the future just keeps coming at you.
fate hands
Just let your hand drop; and let fate decide for you.
running growing-up fate
I'm not sure what we're running from. Nobody. Or the future. Fate. Growing up. Getting old. Picking up the pieces. As if running we won't have to get on with our lives.
taken fate knowing
I admire addicts. In a world where everybody is waiting for some blind, random disaster or some sudden disease, the addict has the comfort of knowing what will most likely wait for him down the road. He's taken some control over his ultimate fate, and his addiction keeps the cause of his death from being a total surprise.
We're making the same mistakes we made 1,000 years ago. So they must be the right ones. So relax.
frontier left
The only frontier left is the world of intangibles. Everything else is sewn up too tight.
longer time
Most novels, I find, are three times longer than they need to be. Very little happens, and I don't want to waste my time with them.
almost invested looks love loving moment sex somebody using
I thought we were a real love relationship. I did. I was very invested in love, but it was just this long long sex thing that could end at any moment because after all, it's just about getting off. Almost all the time, you tell yourself you're loving somebody when you're just using them. This only looks like love.
mistake stupid
We're landscaping the whole world one stupid mistake at a time.
eat fair forced forgotten grow ignored left science until
Us. God's forgotten Science Fair project, left to grow mold. God's goldfish, ignored until we're forced to eat our own shit off the bottom.
fought hide sound turn
My parents used to fight a lot, and I think they fought a lot at night, and they would turn the television up to hide the sound of their fighting.
religion
My goal is never to make fun of religion.
Movie brawls tend to be bloodless and quick.
