More From Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

By holding to the first woman, the first black, the first homosexual, the first transgender, the first native american, the first whatever, there is also something else more hideous that is woven into this intricate web of deceit, and that is the built-in excuse to why they might or will fail. it's because america is unjust. when you have the first woman to do something, the media questions, "why haven't there been more?" well, america is unfair, unjust, bigoted, sexist, and misogynistic.

A man must first of all understand certain things. he has thousands of false ideas and false conceptions, chiefly about himself, and he must get rid of some of them before beginning to acquire anything new. otherwise the new will be built on a wrong foundation and the result will be worse than before. to speak the truth is the most difficult thing in the world; one must study a great deal and for a long time in order to speak the truth. the wish alone is not enough. to speak the truth one must know what the truth is and what a lie is, and first of all in oneself. and this nobody wants to know.

We all begin the process before we are ready, before we are strong enough, before we know enough; we begin a dialogue with thoughts and feelings that both tickle and thunder within us. we respond before we know how to speak the language, before we know all the answers, and before we know exactly to whom we are speaking.

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.
