You’ll never make a lot of money until you make someone else a lot of money.

"There is a weird truth to the idea that if you really don’t care, things will generally go your way. If you’re really invested and emotionally attached, things will get away from you or at least get chaotic and scary."
— Marc Maron…”Attempting Normal” (via thatchris)
"That’s an animal fable about humility. If you survive your mistake, you must learn from it. Accept that you’re fragile, vulnerable, and sometimes stupid. Realize that you’re not immortal and you’ve got to take care of yourself. And then laugh it off and fly away."
— Marc Maron, on the stunned hummingbird that flew into Marc’s window. (via iamthebrusselssprout)

"Hoy asistí al entierro de un amigo mío. Me divertí poco, pues el panegirista estuvo muy torpe. Hasta parecía emocionado. Es inquietante el rumbo que lleva la oratoria fúnebre. En nuestros días se adereza un panegírico con lugares comunes sobre la muerte y ¡cosa increíble y absurda! con alabanzas para el difunto. El orador es casi siempre el mejor amigo del muerto, es decir, un sujeto compungido y tembloroso que nos mueve a risa con sus expresiones sinceras y sus afectos incomprensible. Lo menos importante en un funeral es el pobre hombre que va en el ataúd. Y mientras las gentes no acepten estas ideas, continuaremos yendo a los entierros con tan pocas probabilidades de divertirnos como a un teatro."
— De Funerales - Julio Torri
Well, in the words of David Mamet… Fuck you.

"Quien no pierde en las mayores desgracias su ecuanimidad, la atormentada curiosidad por su propia vida, es realmente un hombre superior. El interés estético por nuestros sucesos decora las más altas cumbres del esfuerzo. Sólo la conservación en nosotros del “hombre que mira” cuando se consuma el aniquilamiento del “hombre que obra” indica que estamos por encima de nuestra ruina, que no hemos perdido el equilibrio interior. Fracasad en absoluto; perdedlo todo de una vez; y os sentiréis de modo imprevisto más fuerte que nunca."
— Julio Torri - Ensayos y Poemas.
Now on video, Aku no Benny Hill (I know shitty quality)
"We are all faced throughout our lives with agonizing decisions. Moral choices. Some are on a grand scale. Most of these choices are on lesser points. But! We define ourselves by the choices we have made. We are in fact the sum total of our choices. Events unfold so unpredictably, so unfairly, human happiness does not seem to have been included, in the design of creation. It is only we, with our capacity to love, that give meaning to the indifferent universe. And yet, most human beings seem to have the ability to keep trying, and even to find joy from simple things like their family, their work, and from the hope that future generations might understand more."
— Woody Allen
"You will notice that what we are aiming at when we fall in love is a very strange paradox. The paradox consists of the fact that, when we fall in love, we are seeking to re-find all or some of the people to whom we were attached as children. On the other hand, we ask our beloved to correct all of the wrongs that these early parents or siblings inflicted upon us. So that love contains in it the contradiction: The attempt to return to the past and the attempt to undo the past."
— Woody Allen
