not-ends 28

Give a man a fish…and i'll show you a fish who's having a really bad day.

If you have a job in which you never sing while you work, it's time to take a hard look at your life.

In group sex and gunplay, it's nice to be missed.

I have trouble mustering outrage over the fact that government and big business have transcripts of every phone call and e-mail we've ever made, and that satellites photograph our every move. The desire for privacy is found only at the lowest levels of the spirit path.

Blondes have more fun? Debatable. Here are the hair campaign slogans that were rejected - "Redheads have more bedhead", "Brunettes have more babies", "Afros have more bravos", "Baldies get more head", and "Mohawks have moherpes".

Brilliance + isolation = clarity.

I spent the first half of my life wondering why i was so attracted to the wounded ones…until i finally realized there ain't no other kind.

The four most destructive words in the history of human language? "It's in god's hands".

Why do people love horror films? Many reasons...and most of them unhealthy. But also because we're a society living on the edge of insanity, and horror films foster the illusion that insanity can be controlled. In a horror film all the people are, for one brief moment, united in a common cause...incapable of all the despicable things we otherwise do to each other. Subconsciously, we know that this is how we're supposed to live...so we want to escape to that world, not consciously realizing that the true horror is the "normal" world we return to when the popcorn is gone.

The most common spiritual mistake is trying to answer the final questions before the thousands that come first.

If you're mean to a caterpillar, do they remember your face once they're a butterfly?
