For millions of years you have slept. This morning, will you not wake?
I had never seen a real live dead person.
One day I would have all the books in the world, shelves and shelves of them. I would live my life in a tower of books. I would read all day long and eat peaches. And if any young knights in armor dared to come calling on their white chargers and plead with me to let down my hair, I would pelt them with peach pits until they went home.
It's amazing what you can see when you just sit quietly and look.
Ahhh. Bed, book, kitten, sandwich. All one needed in life, really.
It was too bad, but sometimes a little knowledge could ruin your whole day, or at least take off some of the shine.
The strongest people in the world are the ones who think they're weak.
I just don't have the desire no more, I don't have the stomach to do it no more. I don't even kill insects in my house. I just don't kill anything no more. I used to kill pigeons, rip their heads off, 'You dirty rat pigeon!' I don't even have the heart to kill an animal no more. I just changed my whole life in general. That probably could have changed the way I fight.
The vampire movies I embraced as a kid used vampirism as a metaphor that expressed deep sadness and a lot of human qualities.
I have always been able to move on musically. I've always been able to make all generations dance and love.
But life is long. And it is the long run that balances the short flare of interest and passion.
