“The only things you learn are the things you tame,” said the fox. “People haven’t time to learn anything. They buy things ready-made in stores. But since there are no stores where you can buy friends, people no longer have friends. If you want a friend, tame me!”

Mal: Another one bites the dust

Standing
Standing on my elbow
With my finger in my ear,
Biting on a dandelion,
And humming kind of queer
While I watched a yellow caterpillar
Creeping up my wrist,
I leaned on a tree
And I said to me,
“Why am I doing this?”

i loved this. my heart is an apple. pomme pomme...
cosmottimista via hellovagina:
“You broke my heart.” Hearts don’t break. They’re really squishy, that’s all. Somebody said that once and it was new and everybody went “Yeah” and then everyone’s said it since. Even if you threw my heart against the wall it wouldn’t break, it would bounce.

“Just for that, I’m gonna call Pierce Brosnan and have him come over....”

AIDS is not funny. Believe me, I have tried. There are certain topics that are off-limits to comedians. JFK. AIDS. The Holocaust. The Lincoln assassination just recently became funny. “I need to see this play like I need a hole in the head.”

The thing is, it gets old to hear the same complaints over and over...
“Some things just inherently, aesthetically you need to be in the presence of...”

“Touching him was always so important to me. It was something I lived for....”

“Do babies matter?” NO! That’s why I have the right to choose....”
– Mal
Julie: “So one of my students the other day had his head out the window and I asked what he was doing. When he asked what I’d do if he jumped out I told him I’d shoot him.”
Mal: “Ummm … I would never use the phrase ‘shoot you’ in my classroom. (pause) Columbine. Colorado. yeeee.”
today jeremy told me that he’s known a lot...
