When People Are Laughing, They're Generally Not

Artists Try To Say Things That Can't Be Said. In A Fragile Net Of Words, Gestures, Or Colors, We Hope To Capture A Feeling; A Taste; A Painful Longing. But The Net Is Always Too Porous, And We Are Left With The Sweet Frustration Of Almost Knowing, Which Is Teasingly Pleasurable.

Life Is Meaningless Unless You Bring Meaning To It; ... It Is Up To Us To Create Our Own Existence. Unless You Do Something, Unless You Make Something It's As Though You Aren't There.

Laugh At Yourself, But Don't Ever Aim Your Doubt At Yourself. Be Bold. When You Embark For Strange Places, Don't Leave Any Of Yourself Safely On Shore. Have The Nerve To Go Into Unexplored Territory.

What I Can't Completely Understand Is Most Other People's Fascination With What The Famous Among Us Do With Their Lips And The Rest Of Their Bodies. Why Do Ordinary People Become The Target Of This Curiosity Simply By Virtue Of The Fact That Other People Recognize Their Names And Faces But Know Nothing Else About Them? Why Do We Care What They Think, What They Wear, What They Eat?

In The Midst Of The Sense Of Tragedy Or Loss, Sometimes Laughter Is Not Only Healing, It's A Way Of Experiencing The Person That You've Lost Again.
