Rupert Burns: What do they say? Andrew Martin: That you can lose yourself. Everything. All boundaries. All time. That two bodies can become so mixed up, that you don't know who's who or what's what. And just when the sweet confusion is so intense you think you're gonna die... you kind of do. Leaving you alone in your separate body, but the one you love is still there. That's a miracle. You can go to heaven and come back alive. You can go back anytime you want with the one you love. Rupert Burns: And you want to experience that? Andrew Martin: Oh, yes, please. Rupert Burns: So do I.
People don't expect too much from literature. They just want to know they're not alone with being confused.
I've crossed some kind of invisible line. I feel as if I've come to a place I never thought I'd have to come to. And I don't know how I got here. It's a strange place. It's a place where a little harmless dreaming and then some sleepy, early-morning talk has led me into considerations of death and annihilation.
We often confuse what we wish for with what is.
Pilot Kelson: So, it was cool, you know? I told her about my troubles and she was like, 'sexual confusion's a tricky thing'. Sexual confusion? I mean, easy on the sexual confusion tip, baby. You make me sound like a guy in a raincoat with a fistful of vaseline, you know? [laughs] Pilot Kelson: Sexual confusion... I mean, you don't think I have sexual confusion, do you...?
Arley: [Storming into the room] Mr. Simonet? Eugene: Yes, I'm Eugene... [noticing Arlene] Eugene: ... Simonet. Arley: [Taken aback by Eugene's scars] Hello. Eugene: Hello. Arley: What is this assignment? Eugene: Excuse me? Arley: What did you tell my son to make him bring a homeless man into my house? Eugene: Uh, I have two problems. One: I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. And two: I don't know who you are. Arley: Arlene McKinney. My boy is in your social studies class... Trevor. Eugene: Trevor. Yes, he's very attentive. He's every exogent, which I like. [Noticing some confusion on Arlene's face] Eugene: Exogent, it's challenging, testing... Arley: I know what it means! Would you like to tell me why my kid brought a bum into my house? Eugene: I have no idea... Arley: Bullshit! Eugene: Mrs. McKinney, I don't know how your son interpreted the assignment. Arley: How do you think he interpreted it? Eugene: Well, I don't know. My suggestion is, if you want to know, why don't you go home and talk to your son? Arley: Hey! I talked to him! Eugene: Really? Then why did you come all the way down here to ask me what the assignment is? [Points to the blackboard] Eugene: It's not a state secret.
Capt. Amazing: Oh looky here, a multi frequency radio detonator. You should be more careful when discarding incriminating evidence. Casanova Frankenstein: Oh, no, no, no this is quite an amusing little gizmo. It's really quite cool. Capt. Amazing: Yeah? W-What is it? [Puff Of Smoke Goes Off In Captain Amazing's Face] Capt. Amazing: [sniffs] Yuck. Casanova Frankenstein: It's a cholorform-deploying portable enticement snare. [Captain Amazing Nods In Confusion and both foes stare at each other in silence momentarily] Capt. Amazing: [sniffs] Ah, Dang! [passes out]
And I can't be running back and fourth forever between grief and high delight.
Don't ever get your speedometer confused with your clock, like I did once, because the faster you go, the later you think you are.
He didnt know what was defeating him, but he sensed it was something he could not cope with, something that was far beyond his power to control or even at this point in time comprehend.
Tall, aren't you?
What was wrong with me? I had a decent life. I was healthy. I wasn't starving or maimed by a land mine or orphaned. Yet somehow, it wasn't enough. I had a hole in me, and everything I took for granted slipped through it like sand. I felt like I had swallowed yeast, like whatever evil was festering inside me had doubled in size.
[first lines] Emeril Lagasse (on radio): I just love mushrooms. One of my favorites, or as I call it, "the king of mushrooms," is the porcini. Now stop right there. Don't be alarmed. There's a lot of confusion in this country between porcini, the Italian name, and cèpes, which is the French name. They're fat and they're earthy. Now the porcini is most often seen dried here in this country. And they would always be labeled "dried porcinis," not "dried cèpes." OK? They are very, very, very flavorful.
The things other people have put into my head, at any rate, do not fit together nicely, are often useless and ugly, are out of proportion with one another, are out of proportion with life as it really is outside my head.
He seemed unaware of the messiness of the arrangement.
With great power often comes great confusion.
I don't know what he means by that, but I nod and smile at him. You'd be surprised at how far that response can get you in a conversation where you are completely confused.
Before I came here, I was confused about this subject. Having listened to your lecture, I am still confused -- but on a higher level.
Looking out over the courtyard at the dirty walls, he realized he had no idea whether it was hysteria or love.
