"Should you happen to be possessed of a verbal acuity coupled with a relentless hair trigger humor and surface cheer sparkling over a chronic melancholia and loneliness-- a grotesquely caricatured version of your deepest self which you trot out of the slightest provocation to endearing and glib comic effect, thus rendering you the kind of fellow who is beloved by all and loved by none, all of it to distract, however fleetingly, from the cold and dead-faced truth that with each passing year you face the unavoidable certainty of a solitary future in which you will perish one day while vainly attempting the Heimlich maneuver on yourself over the back of the kitchen chair -- then this confirmation that you have triumphed again and managed to gull yet another mark, except this time it was the one person you'd hoped might be immune to your ever-creakier, puddle-shadow, sideshow-baker variation on 'adorable' even though you'd been launching this campaign weekly with a single-minded concentration from day one-- well, it conjures up feelings that are best described as mixed, to say the least." -David Rakoff "You are beautiful, but you are empty. One could not die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you - the rose that belongs to me. But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered." -Antoine de Saint - Exupery |
