“Bo comes haring in at top speed, in a sort of ridiculous fashion, as if she’s come to save them a moment too late. She holds an enormous, ridiculous weapon of some kind.”

“They put me on pills. Little purple and green pills. Really pretty pills.
“They don’t make you happy,” they said. “They just give you a little… lift. They perk you up a bit. Give you a kick-start.”
I wasn’t aware my engine had stopped.
I took them. A rainbow of green and purple. In my tummy, helping my brain. My silly brain that has a blanket over it. It felt romantic. I replaced the romanticism of drinking whisky and smoking cigarettes with the romantic tragedy of popping pills. Pills that make you more human. Pills that make you a human. Pills that make you the human they want you to be.”

"I am an island. Am I still only an island? My island, even England, is shaken by explosions, I hear..."

Thu, 21 Oct 2010 20:59:00 -0400

“I am an island. Am I still only an island? My island, even England, is shaken by explosions, I hear bombs burst, cannons fire, I am surrounded by wars, I am haunted by the suffering of hostages. The last bomb did not kill me, we live under a heaven of injustice, of which we are the victims or the miraculous survivors. It is not through our home that madness passes with its scythe? But yes, it is our home, Paris, New Delhi, Beirut, Stockholm, we walk under the same sun of blood. Sometimes death approaches and strikes one street away from me, sometimes I do not hear it, one time it strikes… and it will be me. It is already me.
Yes, at times we have this thought I speak of here but most often we chase it away because it would prevent us from living. But in chasing it away we lose a large part of life.”

- Hélène Cixous, The Place of Crime 1986

Makes you think, doesn’t it… there’s so much to live for.

Somebody should make a play called that, eh?

“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively outnumbers the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here. We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?”

- Richard Dawkins, Unweaving The Rainbow (1998).

“By golly,” said Beatrice to Bertram, as she sipped her tea.

“There does seem to be an awful lot to live for, doesn’t there? Look! There’s Commonwealth Games on, even. And they built one of those new skateboarding rinks down near where Shirley lives. Makes one wonder -“

“Wonder what?” asked Bertram.

“Why so many kids these days seem to just can’t seem to stop offing themselves! It’s almost as though there is something seriously gone wrong with the world, particularly in the Western sphere, as though in the modern world we are divorced from our true natures as animals, as though-“

“Oh!” scoffed Bertram.

“You silly old slut. Stop pondering the lives of those lowly creatures. Here’s a tenner. Go get us some scones, will you, ducky?”

“Quite, quite…” mumbled Beatrice, quite ashamed. “I am a silly old ducky aren’t I?”

“You are a silly old ducky. Quite,” replied Bertram, smiling to himself.

I start to feel like I can’t maintain the facade any longer, that I may just start to show through. And I wish I knew what was wrong. Maybe something about how stupid my whole life is. I don’t know. Why does the rest of the world put up with the hypocrisy, the need to put a happy face on sorrow, the need to keep on keeping on?… I don’t know the answer, I know only that I can’t. I don’t want any more vicissitudes, I don’t want any more of this try, try again stuff. I just want out. I’ve had it. I am so tired. I am twenty and I am already exhausted.
