A beautiful quote. Something to remember to use in letters in some long distance relationship.
@ccraft It's useful for finding books as in they give good recommendations? Do you read other people's reviews on a book before picking them up?
Here's one of my favorite comedic bit from Louis C. K.:
"They also like it when you make up stories. Fables and tales and stuff. And here's the thing, when you tell them the ones you known from books they go through those. By the time they're three years old they're done with those. So you gotta start making them up. That sounds nice doesn't it? Telling your kids stories from your imagination while they drift off into sleepy land and they'll have them like folktales to pass on to their kids. Doesn't it sound nice? It's NOT! Because that's not how that goes. You can't tell them fantasifull, beautiful tales, because you know what that does? It keeps them awake. It's too stimulating. That's a rookie mistake. I've seen millions of young parents do that.
I used to do it---"and there once was a duck and it was magical. When it flew dust of gold fffflew from his belly out into the world."
"REALLY?"
"No...no forget it he just was a duck."--'Now I just pick two brown animals and just walk them through a forest of NOTHING. 'There once was a bear and a dog and they're walking through the woods.
'Then what happened?'
'They--nothing. They just kept walking. They just walked..and they started to get their knees hurt after awhile and they just got tired...And the bear is like 'Where are we going?'
And the dog is like 'Just shut up. I'm not talking to you.' And the bear is like 'What did I say?' And the dog is like 'Don't even try talking to me'
And the bear said 'Why did you even invite me? And than you always acted like this.' And the dog is like 'Don't start this s***h!t here right now!" '...and than they died...'
They just..died of boredom. Goodnight, sweetheart."
