Un peu comme lorsque je rentre d'un voyage quelque part et que tout le monde me demande comment c'etait : peu a peu mes differentes reponses n'en font plus qu'une, mes impressions se resserrent sur elles-memes, ouais, c'est cool, la-bas, et tiens, une anecdote marrante... puis ce discours unique se substitue a la realite du souvenir. Du coup, j'ai franchement eu peur. J'ai ressenti cette crainte familiere, soudainement intense et sincere, q..

As you grow up, and you'll find this, you keep getting involved with larger and larger illusions that take longer and longer to fall away. The great hope is eventually to find a delusion that will outlast your life.

You Up?' What a great question! Just to be asked was to know the answer.

Mais tu crois que c'est quoi, une famille ! Sinon des gens dont on ne se remet pas ?

Mais quelle famille solitaire avais-je donc ! J'etais meme ebahi que deux de ses membres avaient pu s'assembler pour engendrer les deux suivants.

What solitary people my family were! It amazed me that two of its members had ever gotten together to produce the others. But then solitary people pretending not to be - that must be how families start up, and how the race of the lonely has grown so numerous.

Currently the party line I give myself, and do in part believe, is that what's the happiest is just to be alive and sensitive when it comes to feeling the world, and if what your senses, honed beyond usefulness, end up registering is so much suffering out there that you become light-headed with it at times - well, those senses can still be used for extracting pleasures from fruits, nuts, beverages of all kinds, words on a page, a loved mamm..

It was like when I'd taken a trip to some foreign land and everyone asked about it when I got back: my accounts would grow similar, focusing on this impression, that cool place, a certain funny anecdote, until there was just the one account which then substituted for my memory. Remembering this tendency, I felt an honest fear. It was the familiar fear, made honest through sudden intensity, that once all the sensation had evaporated from my ..

Pero, spesso, quando ero in ufficio, rilassato e prigioniero, sovraqualificato e climatizzato, avevo il sospetto che la condizione dell'ape operaia di basso livello fosse ingiustamente deprecata dai sostenitori della giustizia sociale e del potenziale imano. Certo le paghe erano basse, i benefit inesistenti, le possibilita di fare carriera discutibili, e l'indifferenza aziendale verso i nostri talenti nascosti praticamente assoluta. Ma qual..

Capitalism is a purely cultic religion, perhaps the most extreme that ever existed.
