“Two years he walks the earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road.”

“
When I see the blind and wretched state of men, when I survey the whole universe in its deadness, and man left to himself with no light, as though lost in this corner of the universe without knowing who put him there, what he has to do, or what will become of him when he dies, incapable of knowing anything, I am moved to terror, like a man transported in his sleep to some terrifying desert island, who wakes up quite lost, with no means of escape. Then I marvel that so wretched a state does not drive people to despair.

I was always an unusual girl, my mother told me that I had a chameleon soul. No moral compass pointing me due north, no fixed personality. Just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide as wavering as the ocean. And if I said that I didn’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying- because I was born to be the other woman. I belonged to no one- who belonged to everyone, who had nothing- who wanted everything.

In asking for help we are, actually, paying a compliment. We are suggesting to another that we trust them to help us during a time of great vulnerability. We do not expect solutions from them. We ask only that they be present, that they give us the temporary support we require while we find our own solutions.
A healthy ‘I need you,’ is an important expression of love.

Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.

this is perfect
gpoy. All the time I look at people and imagine their life stories. What’s their narrative? So many stories to uncover. So many secrets to unlock. I wish people were more open and less judgmental or I were cooler or funnier or smarter so that I could know how to break all these barriers between people so that we can all share what we’ve been through and learn from one another because this human experience is what unites us and what sets us apart from all else that exists.

Ask your female friends, if you have any, if they’ve ever walked home late at night with a key pushed through their knuckles, just in case, if they’ve ever crossed the street to avoid a stranger, just in case, if they’ve ever taken the long way home because of the weird guy on the corner, just in case. Ask them if they’ve ever made up a boyfriend to get a guy to leave them alone, if they’ve ever gotten off a train car and moved to the next because you just never know, if they’ve ever shelled out for a cab because men like you were at the bus stop. Do you really want to be that guy?

In North America, less than 1% of all the resources we extract from the earth are actually used in products that are still around six months after their sale.

Wiens makes a good argument that as cheap resources dry up we’ll have to create an economy that better accounts for repair and reuse.

Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they almost seem to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I’m one of them.
