More From Benjamin Disraeli

I just want to hear the true voices of women self-expressing - smart ones, stupid ones, ugly ones, beautiful ones, good ones, bad ones, fat ones, thin ones, all of it - until the profound silence that has resounded throughout history is filled with a healthy chorus coming from our side of the aisle.
Beautiful Smart Stupid
Yes, we could talk to you for days on end about all the bad first dates. those are stories. funny stories. awkward stories. stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. but that's all bad first dates are: short stories. good first dates are more than short stories. they are first chapters. on a good first date, everything is springtime. and when a good first date becomes a relationship, the springtime lingers. even after it's over, there can be springtime.

I was told stories, we were all told stories as kids in nigeria. we had to tell stories that would keep one another interested, and you weren't allowed to tell stories that everybody else knew. you had to dream up new ones.

Are people drawn to each other because of the stories they carry inside? at the library i couldn’t help but notice which patrons checked out the same books. they appeared to have nothing in common, but who could tell what a person was truly made of? the unknown, the riddle, the deepest truth. i noticed them all: the ones who’d lost their way, the ones who’d lived their lives in ashes, the ones who had to prove themselves, the ones who, like me, had lost the ability to feel.

I don't necessarily think stories have functions any more than diamonds have functions, or the sky has a function... stories exist. they keep us sane, i think. we tell each other stories, we believe stories. i love watching the slow rise of the urban legend. they're the stories that we use to explain ourselves to ourselves.

People are, in the confines of their own apartments, becoming magellans of the interior world and reaching out to this alien thing and beginning to map it and bring back stories that can only be compared to the kind of stories that the chroniclers of the new world brought back to spain at the close of the 15th century.

Finding a way to extend forgiveness to ourselves is one of our most essential tasks. just as others have been caught in suffering, so have we. if we look honestly at our life, we can see the sorrows and pain that have led to our own wrongdoing. in this we can finally extend forgiveness to ourselves; we can hold the pain we have caused in compassion. without such mercy, we will live our own life in exile.

To sigh, yet feel no pain; to weep, yet scarce know why; to sport an hour with beauty's chain, then throw it idly by.
