That's how our system works. It's a giant con game. One thing gets old, then you have to buy the next thing that gets old, then the next thing. Our whole society's a training ground for addicts.

Tim TharpShe's different from the girls I'm used to dating. She doesn't get tired of my stories and jokes or expect me to start reading her mind. She doesn't want me to dress better or put highlights in my hair or serious up. I'm not a lifestyle accessory to her. I'm a necessity. I'm the guy that's going to crack open her cocoon. She doesn't need to change me - she needs me to change her. At least until her little butterfly wings get strong enough to fly away.

You slide into the third pew from the front and sit there thinking about how desperate all these people are to feel like something loves them. Theyโll believe all kinds of hocus-pocus. But your girlfriend likes it, and you like her, so you do it. Itโs called compromise. The only way youโre going to get something to last in this world is to work at it.
