Automobiles are free of egotism, passion, prejudice and stupid ideas about where to have dinner. they are, literally, selfless. a world designed for automobiles instead of people would have wider streets, larger dining rooms, fewer stairs to climb and no smelly, dangerous subway stations.

More From P. J. O'Rourke

Egotism erects its center in itself; love places it out of itself in the axis of the universal whole. love aims at unity, egotism at solitude. love is the citizen ruler of a flourishing republic, egotism is a despot in a devastated creation. egotism sows for gratitude, love for the ungrateful. love gives, egotism lends; and love does this before the throne of judicial truth, indifferent if for the enjoyment of the following moment, or with the view to a martyr's crown--indifferent whether the reward is in this life or in the next.
Gratitude Love Is Axes
I'm not a believer in predetermined fates, being rewarded for one's efforts. i'm not a believer in karma. the reason why i try to be a good person is because i think it's the right thing to do. if i commit fewer bad acts there will be fewer bad acts, maybe other people will join in committing fewer bad acts, and in time there will be fewer and fewer of them.
Karma Fate Thinking
Once i saw a duck walking down the street so i went into subway and ordered two pieces of bread, and they informed me that they could not do that, like there was some speical rule at subway that two pieces of bread weren't allowed to touch. so the woman asked me what i wanted on the sandwich and i said i do not care, it is for a duck, and she was like oh then it's free. i was not aware that ducks eat for free at subway. it's like give me a chicken fajita sub, but don't worry about ringing it up, it is for a duck.

My childhood is streets upon streets upon streets upon streets. streets to define you and streets to confine you, with no sign of motorway, freeway or highway.

. . . gastronomical perfection can be reached in these combinations: one person dining alone, usually upon a couch or a hill side; two people, of no matter what sex or age, dining in a good restaurant; six people . . . dining in a good home.

I've gone to big stadium rock concerts at some artist's invitation, and there's this invariable, fascinating and rather sad situation of concentric circles of availability. there are green rooms within green rooms literally within green rooms. there are seven or eight degrees of exclusivity, and within each circle of exclusivity, everyone is so happy to be there, and they don't know that the next level exists.

Similar Quotes
The lifestyle that an artist can have, the freedom to wander in the landscape with no real pressure or deadlines, was a very attractive one.

There are thousands of very, very talented artists who will never be known, even after they are dead.
Artist Known
We're creators by permission, by grace as it were. no one creates alone, of and by himself. an artist is an instrument that registers something already existent, something which belongs to the whole world, and which, if he is an artist, he is compelled to give back to the world.
Artist Giving Grace
The responsibility of an artist is to be honest with themselves.
