“That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "Fuck you" right under your nose.”

This one's one of my favorites:
“Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behaviour. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them—if you want to. Just as some day, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.”
Gives me a sense of peace, at times.

I remember you saying that you are saving money to buy your first home.
I definitely remember Donovan saying that he can't have a garden because his landlord will be pissed if he digs up the grass, so he's doing one at his girlfriend's house. The only problem with that is when he beats this one up she'll get a restraining order and keep all his vegetables.

He was right (and strategic in his process). Bastard. I don't know 'bout that. The older I get, the more I start believing that the ones who love you most are those not trying to change you (which, usually, is at the base of telling you the things you don't wanna hear), not even for what they perceive as 'better'. Jury's still out on that.
Not about changing anyone; just a push and solemn reminders of repercussions when we know we're stuck and not inclined to ask for help. It's appreciated and works for us independent procrastinators in my circle.

The other day I went over to my girlfriend's house and her left eye was all swollen and puffy, so you know what I told her?
Nothing, I done told her once already.
