"“A woman once came out of arcspace who knew every detail of her life – except it was not her life, it was the life of another from far, far away, rendered in perfect detail, and when she met with her child at the end of the journey, she stood there baffled and proclaimed: I’m dreadfully sorry, I have no idea whose offspring this is.”

"“With one hand, he grabbed the blackboard’s edge and hung his head in defeat. His pose revealed a strong shoulder and shapely biceps under the tweed. I reminded myself he was a frog.”
So what's the issue here?" — May 02, 2026 07:35PM

"“But I’ve thought of people as attractive. Lots of people. Pedro Pascal. Renée Rapp. Simone Ashley.

“It is an old observation that the best writers sometimes disregard the rules of rhetoric. When they do so, however, the reader will usually find in the sentence some compensating merit, attained at the cost of the violation. Unless he is certain of doing as well, he will probably do best to follow the rules. After he has learned, by their guidance, to write plain English adequate for everyday uses, let him look, for the secrets of style, to the study of the masters of literature.”

“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking.

“In the end, it cannot be doubted that each of us can see only a part of the picture.

Human knowledge is never contained in one person. It grows from the relationships we create between each other and the world, and still it is never complete. And Truth comes somewhere above all of them, where,”
