That's playgirl stuff, Brownie. I've seen them in London, Paris, Rome. They start life in a New York nightclub and end up covering... the world like a paid advertisement. Not an honest feeling from her kneecap to her neck.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
You know, that stuff about pink elephants, that's the bunk. It's little animals. Little tiny turkeys in straw hats. Midget monkeys... coming through the keyholes.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
"This is black, darling." "Yes, it's black."... "No, it's white." "Ah, so it is." "We'll go." "We're going." "I don't want to go." "Then, so be it." That's the way it used to be. For the longest time, he'd wander down any path my mind wished to take, but now this same man has become a stranger. Friend, is there anyone who knows a THING about men?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
He may be a very nice man. But I haven't got the time to figure that out. All I know is, he's got a uniform and a gun and I have t...o relate to him that way. That's the only way to relate to him because one of us may have to die.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The way I see it, God gave me the body, so I intend to use it. It's a big ego trip.... You know, you look around a bar, you pick o...ut a guy and you say, that's the one: I'm going to take all of his money tonight.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The theater-goer in conventional dramatic theater says: Yes, I've felt that way, too. That's the way I am. That's life. That's the... way it will always be. The suffering of this or that person grips me because there is no escape for him. That's great art--Everything is self- evident. I am made to cry with those who cry, and laugh with those who laugh. But the theater-goer in the epic theater says: I would never have thought that. You can't do that. That's very strange, practically unbelievable. That has to stop. The suffering of this or that person grips me because there is an escape for him. That's great art--nothing is self-evident. I am made to laugh about those who cry, and cry about those who laugh.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The whole LSD, STP, marijuana, heroin, hashish, prescription cough medicine crowd suffers from the "Watchtower" itch: you gotta be... with us, man, or you're out, you're dead. This pitch is a continual and seeming MUST with those who use the stuff. It's no wonder they keep getting busted.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
"Then you should say what you mean," the March Hare went on. "I do," Alice hastily replied; "at least--at least I mean what I... say--that's the same thing, you know." "Not the same thing a bit!" said the Hatter. "Why you might just as well say that 'I see what I eat' is the same thing as 'I eat what I see'!"LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The stuff of which tragedy and comedy are made is the same stuff. The foibles of mankind work up more easily into comedy than into... tragedy, and this is the chief difference between the two. We readily understand the Nemesis of temperament, the fatality of character, when it is exposed on a small scale. This is the business of comedy; and we do not here require the labored artifice of gods, mechanical plot, and pointed allegory to make us realize the moral. But in tragedy we have the large scale to deal with. A tragedy is always the same thing. It is a world of complicated and traditional stage devices for making us realize the helplessness of mankind before destiny. We are told from the start to expect the worst: there is going to be suffering, and the suffering is going to be logical, inevitable, necessary. There is also an implication to be conveyed that this suffering is somehow in accord with the moral constitution of the universe.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
But the difficultest go to understand, And the difficultest job a man can do,... Is to come it brave and meek with thirty bob a week, And feel that that's the proper thing for you.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
