Nostravinci's Prophesies

Have you ever been in love? (Neil Gaiman)

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 01:02:06 GMT

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love." - Neil Gaiman

Just got back from a screening of Watchmen. All I can say is: comic book nerdgasm!

Twitter: a gestalt stream of consciousness—when your mind is thirsty, take a sip from the ever-flowing data stream. Just avoid hyponatremia!

I love you

I realize that imposes no obligation on your part to love me back

And as consolation prizes go, I can think of nothing more extraordinary than your friendship

You need to know
That you are
The most

Incredible
Generous
Charitable
Beautiful
Woman

I have ever met

And I'm in love with you

Multitasking is the craft of distracting yourself from two things you’d rather not be doing by trying to do both of them simultaneously.

George Orwell on the enemy of clear language

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:29:20 GMT

"The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink."

Read any good dead trees lately?

"A good many young writers make the mistake of enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope, big enough for the manuscript to come back in. This is too much of a temptation to the editor."

If Tweedledum is your ego and Tweedledee is your id, then love is a monstrous crow

Sun, 11 Nov 2007 22:23:26 GMT

Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
Had spoiled his nice new rattle.

Just then flew down a monstrous crow,
As black as a tar-barrel;
Which frightened both the heroes so,
They quite forgot their quarrel.
