These are the things Paul and I talk about.

There’s no half-singing in the shower, you’re either a rock star or an opera diva.

“Little Boy Blue because he needed the money.”

I have an intricate history. Experiences and feelings. I’m complex. I read…I study and read. I bet I’ve read everything you’ve read. Don’t think I haven’t. I consume libraries. I wear out spines and ROM-drives. I do things like get in a taxi and say, “The library, and step on it.”

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplacable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

Say you were Jack Nicholson, your wife just died, and Kathy Bates gets into a hot tub with you naked…would you?

All things must pass. All things must pass away. None of life’s strings can last, so I must be on my way and face another day.

George Harrison

That seemed to handle it. That was it. Send a girl off with one man. Introduce her to another to go off with him. Now go and bring her back. And sign the wire with love. That was it all right. I went in to lunch.

When you’re unhappy, I guess everything in the world - reading, eating, sleeping - has something buried somewhere inside it that just makes you unhappier.

Nick Hornby (A Long Way Down)

I don’t know what I’d do without this guy. He manages to put things I can’t understand into such simple perspective.
