Tragedies

There are only two tragedies in life: not getting what one wants and the other is getting it. Just like a woman wants sex in the back of the car while you are driving it. Some desire is necessary to keep life in motion, and he whose real wants are supplied must admit those of fancy. Reality means you live until you die. The real truth is nobody wants reality

It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have everything one wants. If I were reincarnated, I'd want to come back a buzzard. Nothing hates him or envies him or wants him or needs him. He is never bothered or in danger, and he can eat anything.

Long hair minimizes the need for barbers; socks can be done without; one leather jacket solves the coat problem for many years; suspenders are superfluous.

When we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing about that person; it merely says something about our own need to be critical.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better, they suck up to your every trash, made you feel the best thing since sliced bread just for a slice of the cake in the palm of your hand.

There are three types of friends: those like food, without which you can't live; those like medicine, which you need occasionally; and those like an illness, which you never want.

But no man is an island. We are not put on earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other. If you are there always for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you. I have heard too many nonsense about not needing anybody in their life, what a load of baloney, you need a cab driver to drive u around, you need builders or you end up on a tree, you need farmers or you will end up in a box even at that you need carpenters or you will become nourishment to animals.

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about, like we need stars in the night sky, sun on day break, we love water but hate rainfall

I heard some women say I don't need a man. But I'm happier with one. I like to have someone I can touch and squeeze and kiss. But I don't fold up and die if I don't have a man around. Experience is what you got by not having it when you need it.

I've learned that everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.
