Henry RollinsYou canโt run away. The past will be only too happy to chase you โ- in absolute, complete, and total earnest. Do you know why? Because theyโre lonely.

Even if itโs being colored by misunderstandings and delusions, a personโs past canโt be anything but the truth as long as he believes in it. If thatโs what you base your actions or your way of life on, isnโt that like being god?

In the end, each of us has lived a unique life story, astounding and complicated, a story that could never be repeated.

Alan TitchmarshYou have the script in front of you. It doesn't involve your body. It's all about your voice. And its fast work. Its also very lonely work. You are by yourself. Very rarely are you in a group. You act with yourself, and someone else mumbles the lines back at you. If at all.

Yousuf KarshAn ad that pretends to be art is - at absolute best - like somebody who smiles warmly at you only because he wants something from you. This is dishonest, but what's sinister is the cumulative effect that such dishonesty has on us: since it offers a perfect facsimile or simulacrum of goodwill without goodwill's real spirit, it messes with our heads and eventually starts upping our defenses even in cases of genuine smiles and real art and true goodwill. It makes us feel confused and lonely and impotent and angry and scared. It causes despair.
