After that it got pretty late, and, we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again. I realized what a terrific person she was and how much fun it was just knowing her, and I thought of that old joke. You know, this guy goes to his psychiatrist and says, “Doc, my brother’s crazy. He thinks he’s a chicken.” And the doctor says, “Well why don’t you turn him in?” The guy says, “I would, but I need the eggs.” Well, I guess that’s pretty much now how I feel about relationships– you know, they’re totally irrational and crazy and absurd, but, I guess we keep going through it because most of us need the eggs.

From a letter to a friend:
I’d prefer interesting times of flux and change to complacency. I used to think I’d have been happy in Pre-Industrial times. Small farm, small village, small dreams, small victories.
A house, a family, beer with those I’d known all my life and trusted as kin. Market day the chance to see those from a few miles away, to hear their strange tales and odd ways of doing things, yet knowing they see the world as I do.
I probably could have been happy with that. Could have been fulfilled and content with the simple life that so many of our ancestors experienced.
Yet it’s not for me. I’ve seen the works of man dance through the constellations, tasted spices from far off lands, heard exotic tongues, strained my mind to understand vastly different world views and learned of things that would be incomprehensible to the majority of human history.
After that… nothing could ever fill the need. No small thing could ever eclipse that drive to catch the horizon, to reach deeper into the world, to grasp at every strange new thing and learn, learn, learn what I’ve yet to know exists.

“Goddamn him. No matter what the mess, no matter how hot the fire, he’s always got an escape route. A route that results in me slogging to retrieve him.”

Tell me, why aren’t we all like brothers? Why does even the best person hold back something from another? Why not say directly what we feel if we know that what we entrust won’t be scattered to the winds? As it is, everyone looks much tougher than he really is, as if he felt it’d be an insult to his feelings if he expressed them too readily—
