“Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive.”

“Life doesn't make any sense, and we all pretend it does. Comedy's job is to point out that it doesn't make sense, and that it doesn't make much difference anyway.”

“God gives us the sun and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Everyday, we try to pretend that we havent perceived that moment, that it doesn't exist- that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow.”

“Creating doesn't make us unhappy, unhappiness makes us creative. To create is to live, and in living, we want only to creat more, to set our foundations depper and reach higher toward the sky. If sadness is what makes us creative, then sadness is nothing else but life.”

“We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, and hour, an afternoon. But that doesn't diminish its value. Because we are left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives.”

“Most of us pretend, with greater or lesser success, that the minute we live in is something we can share. But the past for every one of us is a desert island.”
