Instead, I quietly excused myself and went to the bar, to commune with spirits I know how to relate to.
Mary RoachThere has been a ton of excellent music in this period (along with a few misses), evoking scenes like a bar-room brawl at a border-town dive, a washed-up singer in a smoky lounge, and the scenes of violence in Bob Dylan latter-day music videos.I think the ethos of this period is best summed up in the 2001 song "Summer Days".

Paul PolmanI gave examples from my clinical practice of how love was not wholly a thought or feeling. I told of how that very evening there would be some man sitting at a bar in the local village, crying into his beer and sputtering to the bartender how much he loved his wife and children while at the same time he was wasting his family's money and depriving them of his attention. We recounted how this man was thinking love and feeling love--were they not real tears in his eyes?--but he was not in truth behaving with love.
M. Scott PeckThe world doesn't want to be punished. It wants to remain in darkness. It doesn't want to be told that what it believes is false.

But if you want to be saved-and remember that there's another life after this one-you must accept correction.

I don't think that I'm a dumb guy, but I also realise that I have access to about 0.1 percent of the information that I need to have a truly informed opinion about half the stuff I talk about. I'm like that loud guy in the bar, who kind of makes sense for about ten minutes, and then you realise he flunked everything at high school so you just laugh at him.
Bill BurrIf something comes along that you don't like, there are a few sort of four-letter words that you can use to push it out of the sphere of discussion.

It's a way of pushing unpleasant questions off the agenda so that we can continue in our own happy ideology.

Emily Giffin
