Acting is a form of deception, and actors can mesmerize themselves almost as easily as an audience. An angel is a spiritual creature created by God without a body for the service of Christendom and the church. Courage is capacity to confront what cannot be imagined. Every writer is a narcissist. This does not mean that he is vain; it only means that he is hopelessly self-absorbed. Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable. Humor is, I think, the subtlest and chanciest of literary forms. It is surely not accidental that there are a thousand novelists, essayists, poets or journalists for each humorist. It is a long, long time between James Thurbers. The only reason for being a professional writer is that you can't help it. The purpose of life is not to be happy but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make a difference that you lived at all. |
