lines i like, out of context: "Downtown Owl," chuck klosterman

In no particular order:

1. Before electricity, nothing really happened. Every conversation would have been identical, unless somebody got cholera or was mauled by a badger.

2. Is there any feeling better that being in bed? What could possibly feel better than this? What is going to happen in the course of my day that will be an improvement over lying somewhere soft, underneath something very warm, wearing only underwear, doing absolutely nothing, all by myself? (this is my EXACT thought process every morning!!)

3. Many of the laws in 1984 seemed practical. The world would be better off if everyone had to publicly validate why they were having sex with someone.

4. I always did the best that I could. Which was slightly better than almost okay, most of the time.

5. You just pour in a bunch of Everclear and vodka and schnapps and rum, and then you fill up the rest of the garbag can with Kool-Aid or Tang...That shit is liquid fucknuts.

6. That is when I started to understand that things were very, very different for me. My life had been prefucked.

7. It was like filling the nozzle of a hair dryer with dry ice, holding it one centimeter from oyur retina, and plugging it into an electrical socket. It was like being Helen Keller, in Greenland, naked.

8. So this was the situation. The situation was this: Mitch had to get inside his car, or inside somebody else's car, or inside anything can contained qualities of "insideness."

9. It does not matter what you have been right about, and it does not matter how often that rightness is validated by others. We are what we cannot do.
