oh, yes
there are worse things than
being alone
but it often takes decades
to realize this
and most often
when you do
it's too late
and there's nothing worse than
too late.
-Charles Bukowski

And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself?

#3 When I look at small things, I think I shall go on living: drops of rain, leather gloves shrunk by being wet...When I look at something too big, I want to die: the Diet Building, or a map of the world...

“My mouth is a fire escape.
The words coming out
don't care that they are naked.
There is something burning in here. “

And I'd ask you about war, you'd probably throw Shakespeare at me, right, "once more unto the breach dear friends." But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap, watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help.
-Good Will Hunting

While you're doing fine,
there's some people and I
who have a really tough time
getting through this life
so excuse us
while we sing to the sky!

What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
-John Lennon

“My friends, I am not saying I know for a fact that there is no God. All I am saying is that if there is a divine force behind the universe, it is laughing hysterically at the religions we’ve created in an attempt to define it.”
Origin, Dan Brown

We like companionship, see, but we can't stand to be around people for very long. So we go get ourselves lost, come back for a while, then get the hell out again.
Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild
