some words from the man in the moon.
humanity has advanced, when it had advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible
and cautious, but because it had been playful, rebellious, and immature.
in the world according to the positivist, the inspiring thing about scrambled eggs is that
any way you turn them they're sunny side up. in the world according to the existentialist,
the hopeless thing about scrambled eggs is that any way you turn them they're scrambled.
as long as every wall is threatened, the world can happen.
equality is not in regarding different things similarly, equality is in regarding
different things differently.
love is the ultimate outlaw. it just won't adhere to any rules. the most any of us can do
is to sign on as its accomplice. instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should
swear to aid and abet. that would mean that security is out of the question. the words
'make' and 'stay' become innapropriate. my love for you has no strings attached. i love
you for free.
don't let yourself be victimized by the age you live in. it's not the times that will
bring us down, any more than it's society. when you put the blame on society, then you
end up turning to society for the solution...there's a tendency today to absolve
individuals of moral responsibility and treat them as victims of social circumstance. you
buy that, you pay with your soul. it's not men who limit women, it's not straights who
limit gays, it's not whites who limit blacks. what limits people is lack of character.
what limits people is that they don't have the fucking nerve or imagination to star in
their own movie, let alone direct it. yuk.
