More From Gordon B. Hinckley

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.

Oh god, are there so many of them in our land! students who can’t be happy until they’ve graduated, servicemen who can’t be happy until they are discharged, single folks who can’t be happy until they’ve found a mate, workers who can’t be happy until they’ve retired, adolescents who aren’t happy until they’re grown, ill people who aren’t happy until they’re well, failures who aren’t happy until they succeed, restless who can’t wait until they get out of town, and in most cases, vice versa, people waiting, waiting for the world to begin.

Owen meany who rarely wasted words and who had the conversation-stopping habit of dropping remarks like coins into a deep pool of water... remarks that sank, like truth, to the bottom of the pool where they would remain untouchable.

I laughed and pointed out that "hash browns mean nothing without you" was a pretty good name for a band.

"oh, i deep fried for you / but now i weep 'n' cry for you / oh, babe, this meal was made for two / and these hash browns mean nothing, oh these hash browns mean nothing, yeah these hash browns mean nothin' without you.

As far as the surface is concerned - oil on canvas, conventionally applied - my pictures have little to do with the original photograph. they are totally painting (whatever that may mean). on the other hand, they are so like the photograph that the thing that distinguished the photograph from all other pictures remains intact.
