Nicotine and alcohol embraced in my system like long-parted siblings, grateful to me for reuniting them.

Life, like the boring drunk at the office party, keeps seeking you out, leaning on you, killing you with pointless yarns and laughing bad-breathed in your face at its own unfunny jokes.

This is love: You stop bothering about the universal, the general, get sucked instead into the local and particular: When will I see her again? What shall we do today? Do you like these shoes? Theory and reflection are delicate old uncles bustled out of the way by the boisterous nephews action and desire. Themes evaporate, only plot remains.

Kneecaps only exist to get hit with claw-hammers grace only exists to be fallen from.
Glen Duncan

Only meaning can make a difference and we all know there's no meaning. All stories express a desire for meaning, not meaning itself. Therefore any difference knowing the story makes is a delusion.

The flesh had infinity in it. I must know every inch by touch yet every inch renewed its mystery the instant my hand moved on. Delightful endless futility.

Bliss defies description, obviously, since it annihilates you, since you're not there to experience it. You get the lead-up and the come-down, never the zenith.
Glen Duncan
Image
One day the ordinariness will be terminally punctuated by the extraordinary full stop of death.
Glen Duncan
Image
Just because life's meaningless doesn't mean we can't experience it meaningfully.
Glen Duncan

That's what happens when you keep a secret from someone you love: you start to hate them for allowing you to prove your own willingness to deceive them.
