reality hurricanes path
In reality, you don’t ever change the hurricane. You just learn how to stay out of its path.
truth lying dishonesty
And, after all, what is a lie? 'Tis but the truth in masquerade.
advantage cloaks happenstance
Accidents did not just happen. From time to time they were carefully plotted, calculated, and arranged to one’s advantage-all, of course, under the cloak of happenstance.
strong lying sucker
Lies were only as strong as the suckers that believed them.

cutting thinking dvds
I think a persons life is supposed to be like a DVD. You can see the version everyone else sees, or you can choose the directors cut-the way he wanted you to see it, before everything else got in the way. There are menus, probably, so that you can start at the good spots and not have to relive the bad ones. You can measure your life by the number of scenes you’ve survived, or the minutes you’ve been stuck there. Probably, though, life is more like one of those dumb video surveillance tapes. Grainy, no matter how hard you stare at it. And looped: the same thing, over and over.

life challenges now-and-then
We make messes of our lives, but every now and then, we manage to do something that's exactly right. The challenge is figuring out which is which.
disappointment thinking hands
Logical thinking keeps you from wasting time worrying, or hoping. It prevents disappointment. Imagination, on the other hand, only gets you hyped up over things that will never realistically happen.
