self answers improvement
Maybe self-improvement isn't the answer, maybe self-destruction is the answer.
self world comfort
I suppose it’s comfort, perhaps a sense of self-control, doing worse things to yourself than the world will ever dare inflict.
self self-improvement improvement
Self improvement is masturbation...
self diaries portraits
Everything is a self-portrait. Everything is a diary.
running self smoking
Get through the moment. Avoid confrontation. Run away. That's pretty much how we get through our own lives, watching television. Smoking crap. Self-medicating. Redirecting our own attention. Jacking off. Denial.
publishing-house self ideas
All major publishing houses have these big fat biographies sitting there, waiting for people to die. All you have to do is slap on the end and put in on the market. It's that kind of commoditization and completion of your life before you die - and this kind of imposition of a public idea of self that replaces the actual living self - that I find so frightening.
hate monsters self-loathing
When we don't know who to hate, we hate ourselves.
self hands giving
your handwriting. the way you walk. which china pattern you choose. it's all giving you away. everything you do shows your hand. everything is a self portrait. everything is a diary.
self community church
You could go church and you could describe your worst behavior, your worst self, and despite your worst behavior you would be forgiven and then redeemed and then accepted back into the community through communion. So you didn't have to carry this burden your entire life. Once a week you went someplace you went someplace where you could really look terrible and be loved despite how terrible you were.
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.
