I felt like a gray mouse heading straight for the mouth of a cat, and there was nothing, nothing I could do about it.-Lost and Delirious
Liar! Liar, Liar, Liar! You've all got your heads up your assholes because love is. It just is and nothing you can say can make it go away because it is the point of why we are here, it is the highest point and once you are up there, looking down on everyone else, you're there forever. Because if you move, right, you fall. You fall.-Lost and Delirious
Have you ever been really thirty, and you open a carton of milk and you pour it into your mouth�and it�s sour? That happened�inside me. Forever.-Lost and Delirious |

My name is Lester Burnham. This is my street. This is my neighborhood. This is my life. I am 42 years old. In less than a year, I will be dead. Of course, I don't know that yet, and in a way, I'm dead already. Look at me, jerking off in the shower. This will be the highlight of my day. It's all downhill from here. That's my wife Carolyn. See the way the handle on those pruning shears match her gardening clogs? That's not an accident. That's our neighbor, Jim, and that's his lover, Jim. Man, I get exhausted just watching her. She wasn't always like this. She used to be happy. We used to be happy. My daughter, Jane. Only child. Janie's a pretty typical teenager: angry, insecure, confused. I wish I could tell her that's all going to pass...but I don't want to lie to her. Both my wife and daughter think I'm this gigantic loser. And in a way, they're right. I have lost something. I'm not exactly sure what, but I know I didn't always feel this...sedated. But you know what? It's never too late to get it back. -American Beauty

| It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing. And there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it, right? And this bag was just... dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. That's the day I realized that there was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember...I need to remember. Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it...and my heart is going to cave in. �American Beauty

I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. First of all, that one second isn't a second at all, it stretches forever, like an ocean of time....for me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout Camp, watching falling stars...and yellow leaves, from the maple trees that lined our street...Or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper...and the first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand new Firebird. And Janie...and Janie. And... Carolyn. I guess I could be really pissed off about what happened to me...but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst...and then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain. And I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... You will someday. �American Beauty |

"I read things I wrote a month ago.A year ago.5 seconds ago.I eat oatmeal in the morning and wonder how many mornings I'll eat oatmeal. I wonder how many mornings it will be until I am serving oatmeal to my kids.3 minutes ago I was in kindergarten,following plastic footprints of the imaginary classroom leprechaun.I have 60 seconds until I graduate.When I microwave water and press the faded white buttons for a minute-45,I realize that 2 minutes are slipping away.Then 9 minutes.And then I get my degree and marry some boy and I am scooping up sand off the beach with my fingers wide open and everything is slipping through.You can't hold on to anything for longer than it is happening.19 minutes from now,Im going to die.And in the next millisecond, nothing will matter. Not a thing."-Zoe Trope |
