“The dog has an enviable mind; it remembers the nice things in life and quickly blots out the nasty. ”
“Nice things are nicer than nasty ones.”
“For most people, life is nasty, brutish, and short; for me, it has simply been nasty and brutish.”
“Sometimes things don't work out like we plan. Like, maybe life has other things in mind.”
“Do you know that every great thing in the history of art and every beautiful thing in life is actually what you call nasty or has been caused by feelings that you would call nasty? By passion, by love, by hatred, by truth. Do you know that?”
“But he won’t let the pain blot out the humor no more’n he’ll let the humor blot out the pain.”
