Yet we’re linked, you and I. Like comedy and tragedy. Two sides, same coin.

Laugh and the world laughs with you!

Hello Late-Show lovers…and lovers of the Late-Show!

I feel like I know you. I’ve been watching you forever.

A man with nothing to fear is a man with nothing to love.

You’ll never be sad, and you’ll never be lonely. You’ll always have me to dance with.

A joke a day keeps the gloom away!

Does it depress you to know just how alone you really are?

a good book
can make an almost
impossible
existence,
liveable

for the reader
and
the writer.

Where’d you go? Got ya.

I grew up surrounded by water.

Whoa, easy. Easy, boy. That’s it. I think it likes this.

Easy, boy. Easy. Is this the spot? Oh, yes. You like this.

You received my message?

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

As night falls upon the land it is time to sleep again with the loving moon, I am here to wish you good night.

Listen to the night sky; the mockingbird always sings you my lullaby.

As the moon sings lullaby and the stars kiss your eyes, I wish you sweet dreams, My Love.

I will find the key to your heart when I dream tonight and I won’t ever let it go.

If you are an adventurer then your Jeep knows a lot of things about you.

I think that’s the challenge of our generation: if we are all technology natives, how do we live with influence both online and off, and how do we make sure that both of those aren’t lacking in some type of deeper human connection and substance?

It was so incredible meeting Lady Gaga. I mean I’m gaga for Gaga, literally. We kind of just each flew to each other like magnets after the ceremony ended and we were both just crying and hugging.

Poetry is the lens we use to interrogate the history we stand on and the future we stand for.

I argue thee that love is life. And life hath immortality.

My friends are my estate.

Just checking up on someone with a, ‘Hey, how are you doing?’ usually means the most to someone. I try my best to regularly check

I’m convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like

It’s because you’re like that, Yuki, that I know that there’s someone out there who will understand you. And someday, you’ll find each other.

I want to make music that people can feel and relate to.

To love one another just may be the fight of our lives.

Those faces you see every day on the streets were not created entirely without hope: be kind to them: like you they have not escaped.

How is it that you can give me the words I needed to hear the most right now? How is it that somebody like you

Tohru Honda: Let’s go home. Please! We have to go home right now! If we don’t, I have a feeling Kyo won’t come back to

How? How is it that he always says what I want him to say?

You… You’re not alone… Anymore.

Train your mind to see in all people, what they do not see in themselves. Begin to treat every person you come in contact with

Your intuitive factor is what picks up other peoples vibration.

As kids we sat in grass,
Fished our hands into the dirt.
We felt that damp brown
Universe writhe, alert & alive,
Earth cupped in the boat of our palms.

Human beings are strange creatures. As people come across one another they produce various outcomes. Good things, sometimes. And other times, bad.

I want to call you every five minutes. I want to text you good night every night. I want to make you laugh. And I want you to look at me like you did that first night.

Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.

Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together.

Being alive is an infinite blessing. Appreciate life for what it is. Love what it is.

It is never too late to connect yourself with the blessings of the Lord and live a serene life. Good Morning!

Great scenes might be great, but I love your bloopers and perfects for the urgent. Baby, I want forever.

I’d like that too … to find that special person I can share my life with … and eat jelly buns! I wanna be able

Souls tend to go back to who feels like home.

My soul and your soul are forever tangled.

Tomorrow is a new day and a new start to making things the best they can be. Let someone know what they mean to you. Good night!

Wishing you a peaceful sleep tonight and looking forward to chatting more tomorrow.

The crescent moon,
The night’s lucent lesion.
We are felled oaks beneath it,
Branches full of empty.
Look closer.
What we share is more
Than what we’ve shed.

In history’s form, we find our own faces,
Recognizable but unremembered,
Familiar yet forgotten.

These words need not be red for our blood to run through them.

All that is grave need
Not be a burden, an anguish.
Call it instead, an anchor,
Grief grounding us in the sea.

Grief commands its own grammar,
Structured by intimacy & imagination.

We are desperate to flatten the curve. Oh, how we miss curving into each other.

It doesn’t matter what problems follow a man; he always knows that he is the best for his mother.

I am weird, you are weird. Everyone in this world is weird. One day two people come together in mutual weirdness and fall in love.

Children want the same things we want. To laugh, to be challenged, to be entertained, and delighted.

Life’s just one great journey. It’s a road we travel as we go from point A to point B. What makes that journey worthwhile is the people we choose to travel with, the people we hold close as we take steps into the darkness and blindly make our way through life. They’re the people who matter.

A career is wonderful, but you can’t curl up with it on a cold night.

Too often they don’t realize what they have until it’s gone.
…they’re too stubborn to say, ‘Sorry, I was wrong’
they hurt the ones closest to their hearts,
and we let the most foolish things tear us apart.

Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him. After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him.

The only relationships that exist are based on truth. Everything else is just a mutual and isolating delusion.

It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.

There’s only one thing more precious than our time, and that’s who we spend it on.

Sex is part of nature. I go along with nature.

The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.

I know that when I pray, something wonderful happens. Not just to the person or persons for whom I’m praying, but also something wonderful happens to me. I’m grateful that I’m heard.

If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.

We are braver and wiser because they existed, those strong women and strong men… We are who we are because they were who they were. It’s wise to know where you come from, who called your name.

I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.

Eating is so intimate. It’s very sensual. When you invite someone to sit at your table and you want to cook for them, you’re inviting a person into your life.

Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with shades of deeper meaning.

The greatest moments in life are not concerned with selfish achievements but rather with the things we do for the people we love and esteem, and whose respect we need.

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

I never met another man I’d rather be. And even if that’s a delusion, it’s a lucky one.

she slammed the door and
was gone.

I looked at the closed door
and at the doorknob
and strangely
I didn’t feel
alone.

And love was lightning and remembrance.

I entered the world
once
more,
drove down the
hill
past the houses
full and empty
of
people,
I saw the mailman,
honked,
he waved
back
at me.

This thing about fucking was nice. It gave people extra things to think about.

Brian: I love you Mia.
Mia: Don’t do that.
Brian: Why?
Mia: The way you said it. It’s like goodbye, say something else.
Brian: Okay, kiss Jack for me.
Mia: I will.

Brian: This is your car.
Dom: My car?

I can remember starving in a
small room in a strange city
shades pulled down, listening to
classical music
I was young I was so young it hurt like a knife
inside
because there was no alternative except to hide as
long as possible –
not in self-pity but with dismay at my limited chance:
trying to connect.

the old composers – Mozart, Bach, Beethoven,
Brahms were the only ones who spoke to me
and they were dead.

finally, starved and beaten, I had to go into
the streets to be interviewd for low-paying and
monotonous
jobs
by strange men behind desks
men without eyes men without faces
who would take my hours
break them
piss on them.

now I work for the editors the readers the critics

but still hang around and drink with
Mozart, Bach, Brahms and the
Bee
some buddies
some men
sometimes all we need to be able to continue alone
are the dead
rattling the walls
that close us in.

I used to say I live my life a quarter mile at a time and I think that’s why we were brothers – because you did too. No matter where you are, whether it’s a quarter mile away or half way across the world, you’ll always be with me. And you’ll always be my brother.

Maybe I was lonely. Maybe I’ve just… always… been lonely.

You’ll stay with me?

Listen. If you don’t take it, I’m throwing it down the drain. I don’t want it and I don’t need it. But I could do with a few laughs. We could all do with a few laughs. I’ve got a feeling we’re going to need them more than usual before long.

Life is beautiful. It’s about giving. It’s about family.

Mother and son – there has never been, nor will there ever be anything quite as special as the bond between us.

The important thing is the family. If you can keep the family together – and that’s the backbone of our whole business, catering to families – that’s what we hope to do.

I do not make films primarily for children. I make them for the child in all of us, whether we be six or sixty.

You’re dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.

When people laugh at Mickey Mouse it’s because he’s so human; and that is the secret of his popularity.

A mother is the first love of her son, and a son is a whole world for a mother.

A son is the only man who can complete his mother’s womanhood.

Sons are the anchors of a mother’s life.

There is an enduring tenderness in the love of a mother to a son that transcends all other affections of the heart.

Mothers are inscrutable beings to their sons, always.

More than mother and son, they were accomplices in solitude.

He’s more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

If only two were one, it was us.

I suppose I’ll say it all started with a love letter.

We were together. I forget the rest.

It wasn’t love at first sight. It took a full five minutes.

Finally, we meet. I’m so glad, my Yuki.

Tohru Honda: Okay, I’m done now. Go on, do it.
Kureno Sohma: Oh! I uh- I don’t have handcuffs on me. Sorry! It’s okay. I’ll give

And you held onto that memory, treasured it all these years later. Thank you for that. You were lost and I saved you. I can’t

People can’t live without others.

You’re not as alone as you think.

Why? Why do you care so much about me, anyway? It’s crazy. Most people… Most people don’t want to have anything to do with me.

She won’t get mad! I’m LIKE YOU! I’m in the ZODIAC! I’m the BOAR!

To think we’d meet again.

I… I… I wish I had been born as HARU’S HEART. Because then I could always be with you. If you DIED, Haru… I would

When I’m… With Onee-chan, I feel warm inside…

I want to live for something, for someone…

I wonder… If I can find it… My reason. I hope I can… Someday. I too… If it’s possible… I want to find it in

Maybe it would be better… If I didn’t exist. I’m sure there was no reason… For me to be born.

Thank you. Thank you so much. I want to hear… Those words one more time. I want you to say them one more time.

I thought he’d been depressed recently… So I came to see you… Or rather, to check on Yuki. But I found him so CHEERFUL. To

Please… Please! Don’t erase them! They’re my friends! They’re the first… Friends… I ever made.

In just one respect… Rin and I are alike. We’re looking for… The same thing.

Your mother and our parents have nothing to do with each other. You worrying about that stuff makes me more pissed off.

The older ones who possessed Zodiac spirits cried like that as well. I wouldn’t see it as rudeness. Rather, I believe it is evidence of

Strong women still need their hands held.

Well, shall we go? (internally) Let’s get a little closer to the center. This time, we’ll be together.

The funerals without families,
Weddings in waiting,
The births in isolation.
Let no one again
Have to begin, love, or end, alone.

Actually, I don’t care “how many” people would notice if I disappeared. If just “one person” noticed, that’s all I’d need. Having “one person” is an incredible thing. After all, it’s totally different than “zero.” I was happy then too. I was so happy, it was almost embarrassing. Out of all the people, she found me. Me alone. And now too, someone other than myself is thinking about me. She’s looking for me. That’s not something I’ll ever take for granted.

Life is precious; handle it with prayer.

Tell me, what do you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

As miserable as life may be, I hold it pretty precious.

on the continent

I’m soft. I
dream too.
I let myself dream. I dream of
being famous. I dream of
walking the streets of London and
Paris. I dream of
sitting in cafes
drinking fine wines and
taking a taxi back to a good
hotel.
I dream of
meeting beautiful ladies in the hall
and
turning them away because
I have a sonnet in mind
that I want to write
before sunrise. at sunrise
I will be asleep and there will be a
strange cat curled up on the
windowsill.

I think we all feel like this
now and then.
I’d even like to visit
Andernach, Germany, the place where
I began, then I’d like to
fly on to Moscow to check out
their mass transit system so
I’d have something faintly lewd to
whisper into the ear of the mayor of
Los Angeles upon to my return to this
fucking place.

it could happen.
I’m ready.
I’ve watched snails crawl over
ten foot walls
and vanish.

you mustn’t confuse this with
ambition.
I would be able to laugh at my
good turn of the cards –

and I won’t forget you.
I’ll send postcards and
snapshots, and the
finished sonnet.

Mornings are considered the perfect time to pray. It is when you get a fresh start and just meditate on the goodness of God in your life.

Since the world is round,
There is no way to walk away
From each other, for even then
We are coming back together.
Some distances, if allowed to grow,
Are merely the greatest proximities.

I believe that music has the power to bring people together.

I want to make music that people can dance to, but also feel something.

Read. Travel. Read. Ask. Read. Learn. Read. Connect. Read.

Be yourself and the people that don’t mind are the people that matter.

This year the size of a sea
Sick to its stomach.
Like a page, we are only legible
When opened to one another.

We write because you might listen.

Of all the stars the most beautiful
Is nothing more than a monster,
Just as starved & stranded as we are.

Goodbye, by which we say to another —
Thanks for offering your life into mine.
By Goodbye, we truly mean:
Let us be able to say hello again.

Turgenev was a very serious fellow but he could make me laugh because a truth first encountered can be very funny. When someone else’s truth is the same as your truth, and he seems to be saying it just for you, that’s great.

Some people have written that my writing has helped them go on. It has helped me too. The writing, the roses, the 9 cats.

And there was a fish pond a large one full of the fattest goldfish you ever saw and they were tame. They came to the surface of the water and took pieces of bread from our hands.

The history of melancholia includes all of us.

I can never drive my car over a bridge without thinking of suicide.
I can never look at a lake or an ocean without thinking of suicide.

The next thing I knew, I had a young girl from Texas on my lap. I won’t go into details of how I met her. Anyway, there it was. She was 23. I was 36.

You know there’s a lot of you I’ve loved and it hasn’t been entirely your money.

“This typewriter has spent its whole life up to now in an insane asylum,” the lady told us. “It’s going to the right person,” I replied.

“It almost seemed like a fuck, maybe better.”
“It didn’t mean anything, it was just dancing.”

I will remember the kisses
our lips raw with love
and how you gave me
everything you had
and how I
offered you what was left of
me,
and I will remember your small room
the feel of you
the light in the window
your records
your books
our morning coffee
our noons our nights
our bodies spilled together
sleeping
the tiny flowing currents
immediate and forever
your leg my leg
your arm my arm
your smile and the warmth
of you
who made me laugh
again.

a gold pocket
watch

my grandfather was a tall German
with a strange smell on his breath.
he stood very straight
in front of his small house
and his wife hated him
and his children thought him odd.
I was six the first time we met
and he gave me all his war medals.
the second time I met him
he gave me his gold pocket watch.
it was very heavy and I took it home
and wound it very tight
and it stopped running
which made me feel bad.
I never saw him again
and my parents never spoke of him
nor did my grandmother
who had long ago
stopped living with him.
once I asked about him
and they told me
he drank too much
but I liked him best
standing very straight
in front of his house
and saying “hello, Henry, you
and I, we know each other.”

my 6 foot goddess
makes me laugh
the laughter of the mutilated
who still need
love,
and her blessed eyes
run deep into her head
like mountain springs
far in
and
cool and good.

she has saved me
from everything that is
not here.

My laughter was all there inside of me waiting to roar out: HAHAHAHAHA, o my god o my HAHAHAHA. It felt so good when it happened. Dee Dee knew something about life. Dee Dee knew that what happened to one happened to most of us. Our lives were not so different — even though we liked to think so.

I have loved you woman
as surely as I have named you
rust and sand and nylon.

It’s the only way to actually connect with others, to see them as they truly are.

Dear, I hope you have rested not only on your body but also on your mind and soul through the night. May you feel spiritually connected and refreshed after waking up today! Good Morning to you!

Kissing is more intimate than fucking.

All this sadness is connected like a spiral.

I fell in love with the way you touched me without using your hands.

I’m so thankful that you’re feeling this pain for me, in my stead. I’m so thankful…

I really love you…and that love is invincible!

Just like you’ve listened to all my whining, Kyo-kun, from now on I want you to let me hear your complaints. I want you to tell me when it’s hard, when you’re scared, when you’re weak. I want us to be able to confront your troubles together. Together…just like we’ve been doing. I want to live, eat, study, and struggle together! I want to be with you!

But just like that…just like that, you melt the ugly emotions inside me, and the muddied anxiety, bit by bit. Why would somebody like you be with me? Why would you cry for me? How could I even ask for that? I sure as hell don’t have the right. And yet, this time, I find myself thinking I wanna take care of you, and that I don’t wanna leave you. I’m wishing for it.

Sorrow connects us like a spiral and keeps us from moving.

One single thread of gold tied me to you.

Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath.

Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality.

Why must something be wrong for me to want to see my old friend?

The cleaner, the comedian, the dancer and even the little doctor. It was no accident that you found them.

If only it was effortless to understand you because if it wasn’t so. . .there wouldn’t be any point to be by your side…

Let’s make this October the best.

There’s no such thing as a person who has to go away.

Is that the kinda attitude you show to someone concerned about you?! What’s gonna happen to the person who wants to see ya, huh?!?! Its obvious… Its obvious you wish to see each other… SO COME AND FREAKIN’ SEE ME ALREADY!!

This may have been a useless time for you… but I really wanted to see you!

I won’t get to hear you say, “Welcome home,” to me anymore, will I, Honda-san? But…but I’m happy for you too. The “me” who’s arrived at this point is happy for you. I…I was always…so weak. I wasn’t good at making connections with other people, but I wanted to be loved. I wanted to be needed. I yearned for those things…and then, one day, you came into my life. You made those dreams come true. You granted my wishes without asking for anything in return. You gave me so much. And it’s because of that that I can stand in front of you here today. You helped me become a full-fledged “human being.” You helped me grow as a person. You…were like a mother to me. I was finally able to tell you that. I know my true feelings are a little on the embarrassing side…but, you know, it’s the same for them too, I think. Your presence is so warm and kind…so even though we’re all going our separate ways now, starting new lives in new places, every so often, we’ll still think of you. “Is she doing well? She’s not crying, is she? Is she smiling even now? Is she happy today too?” That’s how we’ll always think of you. Thank you…I’m so glad I met you. I’m so glad you were here… Thank you, thank you, thank you… Tohru.

Yeah…I believe you. Hey. If the snow keeps piling up like this, how about we go make footprints in the snow together? It’s a promise…

The opposite of love is not anger — it is apathy.

We were kissing. Zero layers between us. Our tongues dancing back and forth in each other’s mouth until there was no her mouth and my mouth but only our mouths intertwined.

There’s no such thing as a completely fresh start. Everything new arrives on the heels of something old, and every new beginning comes at the cost of an ending.

I was not religious, but I liked rituals. I liked the idea of connecting an action with remembering. In China, the Old Man had told us, there are days reserved for grave cleaning, where you make gifts to the dead. And I imagined that Alaska would want a smoke, and so it seemed to me that the Colonel had begun an excellent ritual.

He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.

You’ve got a lifetime to mull over the Buddhist understanding of interconnectedness. But while you were looking out the window, you missed the chance to explore the equally interesting Buddhist belief in being present for every facet of your daily life, of being truly present. Be present in this class. And then, when it’s over, be present out there.

I just wanna talk, and conversate ’cause I usually just stalk you and masturbate.

I’m starting over. A new pattern of thoughts. A new wave of emotions. A new connection to the world. A new belief system in myself.

It wasn’t about the sex, it was the one that just gave him that spiritual connection, that metaphysical connection. When you love from the soul, it’s different.

God planned for our lives to connect. Let’s make sure we keep it that way.

The very fact that God has placed a certain soul in our way is a sign that God wants us to do something for him or her. It is not chance; it has been planned by God. We are bound by conscience to help him or her.

When people ask me how they can know Gods plan for their lives, I tell them the best first step is to know God.

The moment we change our thinking and start connecting with God, we start connecting with His plans, which always exceed our small plans.

All the borders in the world are man-made. There are no borders, we are all hooked together. Everything is connected. There is no line of demarcation. We are hooked together like the colors of a rainbow, our problem is ignorance, we don’t understand that.

When people say my name, I want them to feel a certain way, everybody walks around so numb. They’re not in touch. In the technological age, we become cold-hearted. I’m going to provoke you to feel. That’s what Islah does.

If you really think about it, if we begin to teach history exactly the way that it happened – good, bad, ugly, no matter what – I believe that we’re going to find that we are closer, more connected than we are apart.

Hatori’s not a poor thing! And they’re not acting nice! We’re connected a bond! We’re in a world someone like you could be a part of!

Remember this, Tohru-san. In the end…they’ll all come back to me. Because…we cannot be apart. So stop…trying to destroy our “happiness”. Stay out of it. Be a good girl. Otherwise…you’ll be punished.

Prayer lays hold of God’s plan and becomes the link between His will and its accomplishment on earth. Amazing things happen, and we are given

What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.

Trautman: Good luck, son.
Rambo: Murdock said he was with 2nd Battalion 3rd Marines at Kon Tum in ’66.
Trautman: Yeah.
Rambo: The 2nd Battalion was at Kud Sank. You’re the only one I trust.

The truck driver network.

Lighthouses are endlessly suggestive signifiers of both human isolation and our ultimate connectedness to each other.

Some people can’t sleep because they have insomnia. I can’t sleep because I have the internet connection.

Meditation has been an anchor throughout my life – it helps me feel balance, connected and at peace.

To lose our connection with the body is to become spiritually homeless. Without an anchor, we float aimlessly, battered by the winds and waves of life.

Whether you are in it for the cut or are just looking to unwind a bit, when the barber and chair come together, there is no better way to connect with someone and take some time to recharge.

Ask anyone who knows me, I’m the Barber to Know.

There’s something special about the barbershop. It’s a space where conversations and connections happen, where stories are shared over hot towels and cold cuts. Barber culture is something to celebrate and I want to capture that feeling in my.

Once we have achieved inner balance, we don’t need closure from an outside source. We find closure in the perfection of the Soul and in the balanced state of mind we have when we are fully connected with our True Self.

With everything going on in my life—going on in my head—I wanted to talk with you. Really talk. Just once. A chance we never seemed to get at school. Or at work. A chance to ask, Who are you?’
We didn’t get that chance because I was afraid. Afraid that I had no chance with you.
That’s what I thought. And I was fine with that. Because whit if I got to know you and you turned out to be just like they said? What if you weren’t the person I hoped you were?
That, more than anything, would have hurt the most.

It made me wonder, if everyone is so connected to their phones-talking and texting and whatever else it is they do all day long-how do they ever have time to notice the beauty of God’s creation all around them? How do they have time to connect to God?
