and the Technology, Books, Movies, Music & Lyrics I Enjoy

I Can See Clearly Now

by @ 2:42 pm on November 15, 2004. Filed under Life | Quotes

Dear Infinite Is,

Do you remember all those times I railed against you, beseeching you to listen, to hear me, to save me? I do. I recall with startling clarity; my stomach drops and my teeth ache in relived anguish. My pleas fell with a hollow thud and I never understood your seeming indifference.

And yet, at some point late last night, the answers finally revealed themselves to me.

Now…now I think I understand and I thank you.

With love,
~Amy

They’ll have to try like hell to catch me this time.”
“They will try like hell. And even if they don’t find you, what kind of way is that to live? You’ll always be alone. No one will ever be on your side, and you’ll always live in danger of betrayal.”
“I live that way now.”
“But you can’t just turn your back on all your responsibilities and run away from them,” Major Danby insisted. “It’s such a negative move. It’s escapist.”
Yossarian laughed with buoyant scorn and shook his head. “I’m not running away from my responsibilities. I’m running to them. There’s nothing negative about running away to save my life.

~Joseph Heller, Catch-22

    Dear God, hope you got the letter and I pray you can make it better down here…

  11. Really? I usually write something like

    Dear God,

    Can you please release the official strategy guide already? That unofficial one is so full of mistakes, it’s downright incomprehensible.

    Also, I believe you rushed the world into production. Far too many bugs made it into the final release that have yet to be fixed.

    Customer service needs some serious work. The griefing is ridiculous.

    The only thing keeping me here is all the friends I have.

    Thanks,
    Disgruntled customer

    Okay, the last line was pretty creepy, I admit.

  17. As for me, I’d just write:

    ‘I’m tired and nobody loves me!’

    It has the virtue of being short and works well when being screamed, as it’s hard to maintain any length of verbage while screaming.
