A human doesn't have a heart like mine. The human heart is a line, whereas my own is a circle, and i have the endless ability to be in the right place at the right time. The consequence of this is that i'm always finding humans at their best and worst. I see their ugly and their beauty, and i wonder how the same thing can be both. Still, they have one thing i envy. Humans, if nothing else, have the good sense to die

A final dirty joke. Another human punch line. As with many of the others, when I began my journey away, there seemed a quick shadow again, a final moment of eclipse--the recognition of another soul gone. You see, to me, for just a moment, despite all of the colors that touch and grapple with what I see in this world, I will often catch an eclipse when a human dies. I've seen millions of them.

They say that war is death's best friend, but I must offer you a different point of view on that one. To me, war is like the new boss who expects the impossible. He stands over your shoulder repeating one thing, incessantly: "Get it done, get it done." So you work harder. You get the job done. The boss, however, does not thank you. He asks for more. Often,"

Ljudi nemaju srce poput mojeg. Ljudsko srce je pravac, moje je kruznica, a imam i beskrajnu sposobnost da budem u pravo vrijeme na pravome mjestu. Slobodno tome, uvijek zaticem ljude u najboljen i najgorem izdanju. Vidim njihovu ruznocu i njihovu ljepotu, i pitam se kako ista stvar moze biti i jedno i drugo. Pa ipak, na jednome im zavidim. Ljudi su, ako nista drugo, dovoljno razumni da umru.

The dog next-door had settled down, and the neighbourhood seemed stunned by this event occurring in our backyard. It was like it could sense it. It could sense some form of tragedy and helplessness being played out, and to tell you the truth, it all surprised me. I was so used to things just going on, oblivious and ignorant to all feeling.

Although something inside told her that this was a crime--after all, her three books were the most precious items she owned--she was compelled to see the thing lit. She couldn't help it. I guess humans like to watch a little destruction. Sand castles, houses of cards, that's where they begin. Their great skill is their capacity to escalate.
