The Captain is Out to Lunch and the Sailors Have Taken Over the Ship Quotes

“I guess I´m too used to sitting in a small room and making words do a few things. I see enough of humanity at the racetracks, the supermarkets, gas stations, freeways, cafes, etc. This can´t be helped. But I feel like kicking myself in the ass when I go to gatherings, even if the drinks are free. It never works for me. I´ve got enough clay to play with. People empty me. I have to get away to refill. I´m what´s best for me, sitting here slouched, smoking a beedie and watching this creen flash the words. Seldom do you meet a rare or interesting person. It´s more than galling, it´s a fucking constant shock. It´s making a god-damned grouch out of me. Anybody can be a god-damned grouch and most are. Help!”

“Somos finos como papel.Existimos por acaso entre as percentagens, temporariamente. E esta é a melhor e a pior parte, o fator temporal. E não há nada que se possa fazer sobre isso. Você pode sentar no topo de uma montanha e meditar por décadas e nada vai mudar. Você pode mudar a si mesmo para ser aceitável, mas talvez isso também esteja errado. Talvez pensemos demais. Sinta mais, pense menos.”
