More From Jules Feiffer

There are many people who get beat up, who suffer, who are victimized, and then they sit down to write and they write crap. how many of these graphic novels over the years are from really talented people? most of them actually, if you look at them, are self-pitying confessionals about "poor me".

My life is routine. i wake up early in the morning. i brush my teeth. i sit on the floor of the cell i do not go to breakfast. i stare at a gray cement wall. i keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. i take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and i try not to move. i sit for as long as i can i sit until everything hurts i sit until everything stops hurting i sit until i lose myself in the gray wall i sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. i sit and i stare and i breathe. i sit and i stare. i breathe.

The bartenders are the regular band of jack, and the heavenly drummer who looks up to the sky with blue eyes, with a beard, is wailing beer-caps of bottles and jamming on the cash register and everything is going to the beat - it's the beat generation, its béat, it's the beat to keep, it's the beat of the heart, it's being beat and down in the world and like oldtime lowdown.

There is really no reason to suffer. the only reason you suffer is because you choose to suffer. if you look at your life you will find many excuses to suffer, but a good reason to suffer you will not find. the same is true for happiness. the only reason you are happy is because you choose to be happy. happiness is a choice, and so is suffering.
Motivational Choices Suffering
Once you change your philosophy, you change your thought pattern. once you change your thought pattern, you change your attitude. once you change your attitude, it changes your behavior pattern and then you go on into some action. as long as you gotta sit-down philosophy, you’ll have a sit-down thought pattern, and as long as you think that old sit-down thought you’ll be in some kind of sit-down action.
Attitude Philosophy Thinking
Everybody is full of crap. the coin of the realm is being full of crap. the best people - being full of crap are our leaders and our superstars.
