You love life because life's all there is.
Glen Duncan
Image
That's the problem with being alive ... You've got to keep thinking of what to do.
Glen Duncan
Image
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.

Telling the truth is a beautiful act even if the truth itself is ugly.
Glen Duncan
Image
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
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.
Glen Duncan

Pain revealed the paltry dimensions of love. The paltry dimensions of everything, in fact, except pain.

The first thing to say about Eve is that she was a big improvement on the Adam design, or that Adam was an extremely misguided variation on the Eve design. (Consider testicles. Two concentrated nuclei of absolute vulnerability. Where? Dangling between the legs. I rest my case.)

Grace only exists to be fallen from.

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.

When I see gurgling retarded children (that's God's doing, by the way, not mine) happily styling their hair with their own stinking mards, I think of Adam in those pre-marital days. I know he's your great-to-the-nth-degree-granddad and all - but I'm afraid he was rather an imbecile.

What interests me is love, sex, death, cruelty, compassion and the desire for meaning in an apparently godless universe. In other words the human condition.

We’re the worst thing because for us the worst thing is the best thing. And it’s only the best thing for us if it’s the worst thing for someone else.

You think God will never forgive you, but the only God is beauty and beauty always forgives. It forgives with its infinite indifference.

Coffee justifies the existence of the word 'aroma'.

I'm in love, truly, madly, deeply in love with perception.

My mother once told me she thought hell would be nothing more than being given a glimpse of God--then having it taken away, forever.
