mean ice way
And Nietzche, with his theory of eternal recurrence. He said that the life we lived we're going to live over again the exact same way for eternity. Great. That means I'll have to sit through the Ice Capades again.
beautiful winning oasis
Life is full of moments that are good - winning a lottery, seeing a beautiful woman, a great dinner - but the whole thing is tragic. It's an oasis that is very pleasant.
cutting guy intellectual
Science is an intellectual dead end, you know? It's a lot of little guys in tweed suits cutting up frogs on foundation grants.
thinking superstitions doe
I cannot say for certain that God does not exist; I think the worst thing that can be said about him is that he's a bit of an underachiever.
people dying want
Some people want to achieve immortality through their works or their descendants. I prefer to achieve immortality by not dying.
laughter fall thinking
I think that the tendency for most people is to fall back on a comic interpretation of things because things are so sad, so terrible. If you didn't laugh you'd kill yourself. But the truth of the matter is that existence in general is very very tragic, very very sad, very brutal and very unhappy.
real believe people
In real life, Keaton believes in God. But she also believes that the radio works because there are tiny people inside it.
regret school writing
I loathed every day and regret every day I spent in school. I like to be taught to read and write and add and then be left alone.
new-york opportunity years
I have a great admiration for English actors and actresses and have used them at every opportunity over the years, but now I won't have to import them to New York
writing actors idiom
It's all through the actors; I cannot write in that idiom
thinking artist substance
I never considered myself an artist. I aspire to be an artist, but I never thought I had the depth or substance or gift to be an artist. I do think I have some talent, but it doesn't go as far as being an artist.
thinking ideas sparks
It's hard for me to know. I'll think, 'I really brought off my ideas, it's great,' and no one sparks to it
new-york law privacy
I am told the settlement of $5 million I am being paid is the largest amount ever paid under the New York right to privacy law
what-if needs ears
But what if everyone in the world behaved like me and came here and shot Brisseau through the ear? What a mess! And of course we'd need valet parking.
