Dirty Mean Years

More From Edsger Dijkstra

If i marry: he must be so tall that when he is on his knees, as one has said he reaches all the way to heaven. his shoulders must be broad enough to bear the burden of a family. his lips must be strong enough to smile, firm enough to say no, and tender enough to kiss. love must be so deep that it takes its stand in christ and so wide that it takes the whole lost world in. he must be active enough to save souls. he must be big enough to be gentle and great enough to be thoughtful. his arms must be strong enough to carry a little child.

Well people love to go dirty and stuff like that. it's funny, because even really dirty things can kind of inspire, but all things inspire really dirty improv and monologues. so then really dirty things can inspire the exact opposite. it's kind of a crapshoot.

Immortality—dazzling idea! who first imagined thee! was it some jolly burgher of nuremburg, who with night-cap on his head, and white clay pipe in mouth, sat on some pleasant summer evening before his door, and reflected in all his comfort, that it would be right pleasant, if, with unextinguishable pipe, and endless breath, he could thus vegetate onwards for a blessed eternity? or was it a lover, who in the arms of his loved one, thought the immortality-thought, and that because he could think and feel naught beside!—love! immortality!

Some pirates achieved immortality by great deeds of cruelty or derring-do. some achieved immortality by amassing great wealth. but the captain had long ago decided that he would, on the whole, prefer to achieve immortality by not dying.

"don't believe me, don't believe yourself, and don't believe anybody else." don't believe me, because what i say is only truth for me. don't believe yourself, because most of the time what you tell yourself is only truth for you - especially when you tell yourself that you're not good enough, you're not intelligent enough, you're not beautiful enough - when you reject yourself before anybody else can reject you. and don't believe anybody else, because what they say is only truth for them.

Nine requisites for contented living: health enough to make work a pleasure. wealth enough to support your needs. strength to battle with difficulties and overcome them. grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them. patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished. charity enough to see some good in your neighbor. love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others. faith enough to make real the things of god. hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.

For which of my bad parts didst thou first fall in love with me?

We are not men, to have need of another, an eternal life; we are women, and for us one moment with man we love is everlasting paradise, one moment far from the man we love is everlasting hell. it is here on earth that we women love out eternity
