what a goon 
are you 14 or 40???autistic dullard with a brain of a 16 year old boy in a 40 year old body…
Define a.
What are you suggesting, that the autistic define “a” differently?
Perhaps we should run this by Temple Grandin. Or Claire Danes?

The sad truth about being an asshole is it works.
Being one Himself, he snorted.
People who don’t get sarcasm are really, really, really smart.
Among other things: Huh?
Catholic priests oppose abortion because it leaves them with fewer kids to molest.
There. I said it.
Sure, that’s one possible explanation.
Yes, atheists molest kids too. But when they’re caught they get arrested, not reassigned.
Now that I think about it…
There is no past.
There is no future.
There is only this moment.
And you’ve wasted it reading this.
Then on to the next one.
[b]Ernest Cline
Being human totally sucks most of the time. Videogames are the only thing that make life bearable.[/b]
No, really, some actually believe this.
You really think it’s that simple? I said. That you can just write a check for two hundred and forty billion dollars and fix all the world’s problems?
Probably not, right?
Some people define themselves by railing against all of the things they hate, while explaining why everyone else should hate it too.
And most of them end up here.
I confronted the grim realization that virtual sex, no matter how realistic, was really nothing but glorified, computer-assisted masturbation. At the end of the day, I was still a virgin, all alone in a dark room, humping a lubed-up toy.
Go figure, right?
Each enemy I vanquished dropped a pile of “Zenny coins” that I could later use to purchase armor, weapons, and potions from one of the bearded wise men scattered throughout each level.
A gamer thing, he guessed.
I was too weird, even for the weirdos.
More to the point, he couldn’t be prouder.

Same with chickens.

A hell of a lot more in some places.

You know, before it’s gone altogether.
[b]Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The so-called ‘discoveries’ of the Impressionists could not have been unknown to the old masters; and if they made no use of them, it was because all great artists have renounced the use of effects. And in simplifying nature, they made it all the greater.[/b]
Let’s call this an “art thing”.
And if out of a million visitors there is even one to whom art means something, that is enough to justify museums.
Tell me that’s not horseshit, he grumbled.
Berthe Morisot was a painter full of eighteenth-century delicacy and grace; in a word, the last elegant and ‘feminine’ artists since Fragonard.
You tell me: google.com/search?source=un … =625&dpr=1
I’ve known painters who never did any good work because instead of painting their models they seduced them.
Yo, phoneutria! Explain the difference.
About 1883 something like a break occurred in my work. I had reached the end of ‘impressionism,’ and I had come to realize that I did not know how to paint or draw.
Yo, anyone! Explain this please.
I have a horror of the word ‘flesh’, which has become so shopworn. Why not ‘meat’ while they’re about it? What I like is skin, a young girl’s skin that is pink and shows that she has a good circulation.
And then all the other parts of her.
[b]tiny nietzsche
I’m just a nihilist, standing in front of a void, asking it to reject all religious and moral principles in the belief that life is meaningless[/b]
Yeah? Okay, prove it!
“don’t forget to fuck yourself” kierkegaard
Must be that other Kierkegaard.
orwell that ends well
In Newspeak for example.
I took something out of context and now I can’t put it back
Well, at least there was a context. Right, Mr. Intellectual Contraption?
seventy percent of the earth is covered in water. the rest is sadness
Tears, in other words.

In other words, on this side of the grave too.
[b]Camille Pissarro
Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.[/b]
Come on, even here?
All the sorrow, all the bitterness, all the sadness, I forget them and ignore them in the joy of working.
Obviously not on the assembly line or in the cubicle.
It is absurd to look for perfection.
What, even here?
God takes care of imbeciles, little children and artists.
Anyone here know why?
It is only by drawing often, drawing everything, drawing incessantly, that one fine day you discover to your surprise that you have rendered something in its true character.
Unless of course he’s wrong.
Paint the essential character of things.
Or, sure, just make something up.

Let’s try that here.
Stay firmly in your path and dare; be wild two hours a day!
Or, if you dare, three or four.
If you see a tree as blue, then make it blue.
A weeping willow for example.
I have come to an unalterable decision - to go and live forever in Polynesia. Then I can end my days in peace and freedom, without thoughts of tomorrow and this eternal struggle against idiots.
Or, as we call them here, Kids.
Art is either revolution or plagiarism,
Actually it’s the other way around.
Where do we come from? What are We? Where are we going?
Actually it’s the other way around.

Soaring!
i would like to be more attractive
Don’t get me started, okay?
forgot that life is pain and then remembered again
I know. Don’t you just hate that?
oh look it’s a hell of my own making
You know, after years of practice.
no i don’t know what the fuck is going on, what do i look like, someone who knows what the fuck is going on?
Anyone here look like that?
maybe i’m not supposed to be ok
You know, the Gods. Or the stars.

I’m looking for the unexpected. I’m looking for things I’ve never seen before.[/b]
No, really, Kids, some people actually do.
When I work, and in my art, I hold hands with God.
My guess: not your God.
The more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer.
On the other hand, the more posts you read here…?
I come from suburban America. It was a very safe environment and it was a good place to come from in that it was a good place to leave.
Lots of good places to leave, right?
When I’m behind a camera I forget I exist.
And I forget what this means.
I don’t know why my pictures come out looking so good. I just don’t get it.
Blessed by God, perhaps.

[b]Margaret Mead
To demand that another love what one loves is tyranny enough, but to demand that another hate what one hates, is even worse.[/b]
A hell of a lot worse, for example.
Never ever depend on governments or institutions to solve any major problems. All social change comes from the passion of individuals.
And how scary is that, Mr. Populist?
The problem with America today is that too many people know too much about not enough.
Of course here we call them pinheads. Well, some of us anyway.
Nobody has ever before asked the nuclear family to live all by itself in a box the way we do. With no relatives, no support, we’ve put it in an impossible situation.
Let’s call this capitalism.
Laughter is man’s most distinctive emotional expression. Man shares the capacity for love and hate, anger and fear, loyalty and grief, with other living creatures. But humour, which has an intellectual as well as an emotional element belongs to man.

Women want mediocre men, and men are working to be as mediocre as possible.

The problem with today is tomorrow.
What’s that make yesterday then?
Life sucks. Don’t fact check me.
Unless, of course, life doesn’t suck.
The best way to be happy is to imagine things worse.
Of course!
I warned me about myself
And now I’m warning you.
Hell is just today, but tomorrow it could be worse.

War is ninety percent information.
Not unlike peace.
Men are more easily governed through their vices than through their virtues.
Not unlike women.
Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent.

“To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.” Oscar Wilde[/b]
By the way, that’s now a scientific fact.

Steve Jobs had a tendency to see things in a binary way: "A person was either a hero or a bozo, a product was either amazing or shit.[/b]
On the other hand, he’s still dead.
The people who invented the twenty-first century were pot-smoking, sandal-wearing hippies from the West Coast like Steve, because they saw differently,” he said. "The hierarchical systems of the East Coast, England, Germany, and Japan do not encourage this different thinking. The sixties produced an anarchic mind-set that is great for imagining a world not yet in existence.
See, didn’t I tell you?
Was he smart? No, not exceptionally. Instead, he was a genius.
Not clever enough? Or too clever?
In the first 30 years of your life, you make your habits. For the last 30 years of your life, your habits make you.
Not much that doesn’t explain, he figured.
Otherwise, as Dylan says, if you’re not busy being born, you’re busy dying.
Come on, no one is not dying. That comes with being born.
The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think, Einstein said.
