“Missing someone has to be one of the worst human emotions. All the other feelings like anger and fear and horror get some much more airplay, as if their intensity gives them more value, but whereas those emotions come in violent bursts and are gone again, the gnawing ache of loss has to be simply endured. It's like background noise, it's always there, it never goes away. You just have to try to block it out, distract yourself, hope that tomorrow the hole they left behind has grown a little smaller.” IfsGivingTryingHumansLittlesFeelingsValuesLeftLossEmotionBehindsGoneWorstMissingTomorrowHorrorViolentBackgroundsHolesNoiseBlockIntensityAcheLeft BehindMissing SomeoneHuman EmotionsAnger And FearBackground Noise Author:Alexandra Potter

“You can't expect everyone to laugh or applaud you for doing edgy things. Sometimes you'll miss. But I think comedians are artists and there's a value in failure. It kind of works both ways between comedians and audiences. The audience has to understand that comedians are going to sometimes tell a joke that doesn't work out with dark subjects, and the comedian has to understand that sometimes they 'll fail and it's not the audience's fault for not getting it or loving it.” ThinkingWayKindSometimesArtistValuesDarkAudienceLaughingFailingSubjectsMissingJokesFaultsWork OutComedianEdgy Author:Anthony Jeselnik
“When I was on tour, people would say "We don't need a value-based currency, we can go out and buy gold and silver with US dollars now."

“Historically, the idea that you take something novel and you break it has been seen as the ultimate rejection of Enlightenment values, of progress, of civilization - because how could you possibly move forward if you break technology?
