Every now and then if you try, you can discover something new.

This willingness to be frank and plain about the way that the world is, is a good first step. But that doesn't mean that you get what you want.

If you stop someone who's talking about something being fun, and say "Well what do you mean?" it's almost impossible to answer.

Once you get yourself on that path where you're willing to find something delightful in laundry and in dishwashers, it means that you train yourself to be able to find it almost anywhere in almost anything.

We think we want enjoyment, and that enjoyment is incompatible with work, and somehow we have to import the pleasure into these miserable experiences. That takes for granted that there's not fun or play to be found in the work itself.

A fun movie is something that is pleasurable without being demanding, you don't have to think too hard.

Looking for meaning in the ordinary seems like the most urgent thing that we can do.
