alive world
You've been put on the world to love the act of being alive.
reading school college
When I graduated from high school I couldn't go to college, so I went to the library 3 days a week for 10 years.
night tree gone
Suddenly the day was gone, night came out from under each tree and spread.
life country rain
Why the Egyptian, Arabic, Abyssinian, Choctaw? Well, what tongue does the wind talk? What nationality is a storm? What country do rains come from? What color is lightning? Where does thunder goe when it dies?
creativity surprise
Surprise is where creativity comes in.
should
The things that you do should be things that you love, and things that you love should be things that you do.
giving forever lazy
The world doesn't give a damn about you unless you do something. Those are the rules; I didn't make them. If you are lazy, if you don't get the work that you love done, the world won't care if you die tomorrow and go into the grave and are gone and forgotten forever.
drinking beer intellectual
Beer's intellectual. What a shame so many idiots drink it.
happy-life years doe
The years go by. The time, it does fly. Every single second is a moment in time that passes. And it seems like nothing - but when you're looking back ... well, it amounts to everything.
girl rain moving
The autumn leaves blew over the moonlit pavement in such a way as to make the girl who was moving there seem fixed to a sliding walk, letting the motion of the wind and the leaves carry her forward. [...] The trees overhead made a great sound of letting down their dry rain.
numbers people creative
I'm trying to teach people of all ages to, number one: how to criticize, how to offer creative analysis on top of that, how to try to build things in a new direction and how to compliment people when the thing gets done.
people unhappy want
These are all novels, all about people that never existed, the people that read them it makes them unhappy with their own lives. Makes them want to live in other ways they can never really be.
fear scare rebel
So few want to be rebels anymore. And out of those few, most, like myself, scare easily.
death loss thinking
Death doesn't exist. It never did, it never will. But we've drawn so many pictures of it, so many years, trying to pin it down, comprehend it, we've got to thinking of it as an entity, strangely alive and greedy. All it is, however, is a stopped watch, a loss, an end, a darkness. Nothing.
