Carson McCullers

“There are the lover and the beloved, but these two come from different countries. Often the beloved is only a stimulus for all the stored-up love which has lain quiet within the lover for a long time hitherto. And somehow every lover knows this. He feels in his soul that his love is a solitary thing. He comes to know a new, strange loneliness and it is this knowledge which makes him suffer. So there is only one thing for the lover to do. He must house his love within himself as best he can; he must create for himself a whole new inward world—a world intense and strange, complete in himself.”
-Carson McCullers

I'm going to make a good parent someday

Berkeley, CA. a few months ago.
16 year old son of my friend: Hey will you do me a solid and get me a big ass bottle of grey goose for me and my homies? (he may have used a more modern term than homies)
me: um, I'm not sure I feel comfortable doing that... I don't know your friends and if your dad, who just showed me the new contraption he uses to smoke his 'medical' marijuana, will not even buy it for you, I'm not sure I should.
him: But, c'mon, I thought you were cool. Please?? Do me a solid??
me (pensive): It's never really a good idea to be desperate for alcohol. Or sex. Always remember that.
