Only a g-ma from Rhode Island would think of stuffed clams as a potential post-tonsillectomy food.

The truth about female desire: It’s base, animalistic and ravenous
“Think of an experience from your childhood. Something you remember clearly, something you can see, feel, maybe even smell, as if you were really there. After all you really were there at the time, weren’t you?
How else could you remember it? But here is the bombshell: you weren’t there. Not a single atom that is in your body today was there when that event took place …. Matter flows from place to place and momentarily comes together to be you. Whatever you are, therefore, you are not the stuff of which you are made. If that does not make the hair stand up on the back of your neck, read it again until it does, because it is important.”

“You know, I’m pretty mutable when it comes to music, especially with a frequency that is familiar to me. Having a chance to hear this body of work done in a totally different remixed way, it’s really cool. The different movements we go through are kinda what the process or the route that my mind was taking almost. So I just love it. And it’s funky!”

“I think that people are constantly thinking about capturing things that they’re not actually present for the moment they’re trying to capture. I’m quite sure of this. I think it’s insane how many pictures have to be taken these days. We have to realize there’s a level of documentation that’s just chatter, it’s noise, and beyond that, people who are trulydocumenting are going to have to find a way to puncture that.”

“Why would anyone be unhappy if it wasn’t absolutely necessary?”
“Expectation is the root of all heartache.”

“The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.”
