If there is pain, nurse it. And if there is a flame, don’t snuff it out. Don’t be brutal with it. We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster, that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to make yourself feel nothing – what a waste! Remember, our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once. And before you know it, your heart is worn out. Right now there’s sorrow. Pain. Don’t kill it. And with it the joy you’ve felt.

Figures of speech
Techno kills the butterflies, trauma, I’m watching myself like an old movie on colour TV, learning difficulty, drag race in the streets – art house in the sheets, The sun dies every night to let his love, the moon, breathe.
Fargo in LA
Only an intellectual can believe something so stupid.
– I gotta drop off the kids at the pool.
– You got kids?
– I gotta take a shit!
Crepuscular
Don’t cheat on my wife.
Bowie
Mass delusions are as old as I am. I was there when the Martians invaded in 1938. What a panic. Powerful panic. Now there are starmen waiting in the sky. They believed it was true, and it was.
An angel’s wisdom
Families suck. Not all of them, though. Not the ones you build out of strange pieces. And they work.
Oversharing
The real violence, the violence I realized was unforgivable, is the violence that we do to ourselves, when we’re too afraid to be who we really are.
Westworld
Some people choose to see the ugliness in this world. I choose to see the people.
If it’s such a wonderful place out there why are you all clamoring to get in here?
If you go looking for the truth, get the whole thing. It’s like a good fuck. Half is worse than none at all.
The longer I work here, the better I understand the hosts. Human beings confuse me.
You think I’m scared of death? I died a million times. How many times have you died?
Your humanity is cost-effective.
– Everyone I care about has gone and it hurts… so badly.
– I can make that feeling go away if you like.
– Why would I want that? Pain, their loss, is all I have left of them. You think your grief will make you smaller inside, like your heart will collapse in on itself but it doesn’t. I feel spaces opening up inside of me, like a building with rooms I’ve never explored.
– That’s very pretty… Dolores. Did we write that for you?
