• All the pretty horses

  Think something. But then tell it to no one.

   

  There is a purity in doing a thing for the first time that can never return.  When we learn that people like a certain thing we do, we can never be sure why we do that thing again.  Art is truest if someone lets it all out and has no idea how people will react.  They just said it or sang it or wrote it because they really felt it.  That is why we love little children.  They say things because they think of them and we love that these things occurred to them, and that they are not trying to woo us on purpose.  But a comedian knows his effects, and reins them in and spins them on us, and it is not worth as much.  There’s a purity that is only in the first time you do something.

   

  Not talking is just as important as talking. I want people to connect with the things I don’t say as much as the things I do say.

   

  I don’t want to have sex with you, I just want to have sex with your body.  It’s a very hard thing to actually have sex with another person.  It rarely ever happens; most one night stands are mere collisions of flesh.

   

  Before you wonder if you had sex with someone, you must wonder what it means to be a someone in the first place. If we disappear as we live, I suppose you did have sex with that person.  But if we span time, you barely touched them at all.

   

  Oh Laura. 

   

  I used to want to be a philosopher, but now I believe that all good things are wild and free.
