“It’s not an accident if you enjoy it.”
This has been your Precious Encouragement of the Week. A lot of smack is talked about accidents, but if it wasn’t for accidents a lot of us wouldn’t be here. So how about we step off of accidents just a smidge, okay?
“A poet looks at the world the way a man looks at a woman.” —Wallace Stevens
“What? You mean with a raging erection?” —Anonymous Doug
This has been your Precious Encouragement of the Week. Cramming meaning into places where it really doesn’t belong but we saw it in this movie once so… yeah…
“As long as people will accept crap, it will be financially profitable to dispense it. ” —Dick Cavett
This has been your Precious Encouragement of the Week. We don’t make any money off this and probably never will, so you know it’s gotta be good, right?
“Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.” —Maya Angelou
This has been your Precious Encouragement of the Week. We’re the Tempur-Pedic mattress for your soul, except we’re a lot cheaper, don’t have a 20-year warranty, and you can’t have sex on top of us.
“If you want to find out what a writer or a cartoonist really feels, look at his work. That’s enough.” —Shel Silverstein
This has been your Precious Encouragement of the Week. We could just tell you straight up how we feel, but we’d rather make you work for it. It’s more fulfilling and worthwhile that way, don’t you think?
“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.” —Richard P. Feynman
“I pity the fool.” —Mr. T
This has been your Precious Encouragement of the Week. If we’re fooling you, then you’re not fooling yourself. And that means you’re ahead of the game.
“You cannot petition the Lord with prayer.” —Jim Morrison
This has been your Precious Encouragement of the Week. You can petition us all you want. It’s not like we can grant your wishes anyway but at least we’re up front about it.
“I don’t know why I started writing. I don’t know why anybody does it. Maybe they’re bored, or failures at something else.”—Cormac McCarthy
This has been your Precious Encouragement of the Week. Giving you the sort of personal boost that only bored failures can give.
“An optimist says, “The drink is half full.” A pessimist says, “The drink is half full, but I might have bowel cancer.” —Kids in the Hall
“Folks: It’s time to evolve ideas. You know, evolution didn’t end with us growing thumbs. You do know that, right? Didn’t end there. We’re at the point, now, where we’re going to have to evolve ideas. The reason the world is so fucked up is we’re undergoing evolution. And the reason our institutions, our traditional religions, are all crumbling, is because … they’re no longer relevant. They’re no longer relevant. So it’s time for us to create a new philosophy and perhaps even a new religion, you see. And that’s okay ’cause that’s our right, ’cause we are free children of God with minds who can imagine anything, and that’s kind of our role.” —Bill Hicks
“The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it’s real because that’s how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it’s very brightly colored and it’s very loud and it’s fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, “Hey – don’t worry, don’t be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride…” And we… kill those people.” —Bill Hicks
“At some point, you just don’t care anymore.” —RF
