Honesty...

'Honesty' is like that handmade sweater your grandmother gives you. Good for one or two social occasions, but never in moments where success is essential.

Fever Solace...

What bothered him was not her stubborn independence; it was her stubborn belief that her stubborn independence was somehow advantageous.

Mistakes and Loses

We spend more energy cursing our mistakes than we do fixing them.




Warriors V. Givers...

Each of us is part warrior and part giver.

And I believe our successes (whatever their form) are dependent on the degree to which we let each part surface...

Courage or Stupidity

When faced with losing a loved one, it takes courage to give into your neuroses.

It takes courage to give into your neuroses...rather than a loved one.

A mother's shame (given years to exist) becomes a rapist to a woman.



Archiving...

How lucky was she that her father was a doctor?

Quite.



The Beauty of Nature...

To Success....

Let it be known, now and in the days to come, that the stalwart marrow of my hope still gnashes and gnaws its caged limbs, its voice though muted, smothered and subdued, still calls out your name, your unparallelled embrace.

Perceptions...

Re-writes...

Anger is for pussies.

Anger, given the chance to fester, will destroy you.

The Buddy, The Guy, And The Fella...

Hypocrisy walked in the room carrying her favourite weapon--a .45 calibre Smith & Wesson.

A .45 calibre Smith & Wesson she affectionately named 'The Double Standard.'

Gunless. Shirtless. He went down swinging without a hope in hell.





And Yet...

Despite our nature, humankind is menacingly flawed at the whole herd thing.

It's a Wonder...

He found living up to her standards draining and difficult. She found them entirely impossible. It's a wonder.



4th Floor Living Without a Yard

Hypocrisy is NOT a minor character flaw. But neither is impatience.

Joy

The joy of self gratification is the joy of having to please no one but yourself.

Little Warrior...


He could protect her from everyone...everyone but herself.


The Burden...

The burden of continual success? Eventual failure.

Disappointment...

Disappointment, given the chance to fester, will destroy you.
