 The only frontier left is the world of intangibles. Everything else is sewn up too tight.

 The only thing I know is everything you love will die. The first time you meet that someone special, you can count on them one
day being dead and in the ground.

 The only thing worse than losing at love was winning.

 The perfume, all those dead whales in the cuts of her hands, it stings.

 The problem in this case was you just can’t be a middle-aged virgin in America without something be wrong with you. People can’t conceive of a virtue in someone else that they can’t conceive in themselves. Instead of believing you’re stronger, it’s so much easier to imagine you’re weaker. You’re addicted to self-abuse. You’re a liar. People are always ready to believe the opposite of what you tell them.

 The sound shivers through the walls, through the table, through the window frame, and into my finger. These distraction-oholics. These focus-ophobics. Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother's holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed... and this being fed, it's worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what's in your mind. With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.

 The thing about sex is no matter how much you crave it, you can forget it.

 The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close up.

 The truth is you can be orphaned again and again and again.
The truth is you will be.
And the secret is, this will hurt less and less each time until you can’t feel a thing.

 The truth is, wherever you choose to be, it's the wrong place.

 The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.

 The way you can go to Paris or Beijing and everywhere there's a McDonald's hamburger, this is the ecological quivalent of franchised life-forms. Every place is the same place. Kudzu. Zebra Mussels. Water Hyacinths. Starlings. Burger Kings.
The local natives, anything unique gets squeezed out.
The only biodiversity we're going to have left is Coke versus Pepsi.
We're landscaping the whole world one stupid mistake at a time.

 Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things that you used to own, now they own you.

 There are worse things than finding your wife and child dead. You can watch the world do it. You can watch your wife get old and bored. You can watch your kids discover everything in the world you've tried to save them from. Drugs, divorce, conformity, disease. All the nice clean books, music, television. Distraction.

 There will always be cougars outside. It's such a chick thing to think that life should just go on forever.
