More From S. J. Perelman

I used to smoke marijuana. but i'll tell you something: i would only smoke it in the late evening. oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening - or the mid-evening. just the early evening, midevening and late evening. occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . but never at dusk!
Funny Weed Morning
At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. so this thing where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, it's usually a load of bull. so we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. no matter how much we hurt them. the people that are still with you at the end of the day, those are the ones worth keeping. and sure, sometimes close can be too close. but sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.
Hurt Distance Space
I understand that each one of us works at a different speed, and has a slightly different process. i understand that these writers are painstaking, wanting each sentence-each word-to carry weight... i know it’s not laziness, but respect for the work, and i understand from my own work that haste makes waste. but i also understand that life is short, and that in the end, none of us is prolific. the creative spark dims, and then death puts it out. william shakespeare, for instance, hasn’t produced a new play for 400 years. that, my friends, is a long dry spell.

Everybody wasn't always wasted. why is punk rock about getting wasted? isn't it punk rock to be sober and change the world? i thought it was about challenging capitalism? how are you going to challenge capitalism if you're wasted?

Writing Constitution Madison
You've always asked me to wait, as if we had time in abundance. but time is too precious, perry. we've wasted years, when we could have been with each other. don't you understand how much even one day of loving each other is worth? some people are separated by distances they can never cross. all they can do is dream about each other for a lifetime, never having what they want most. how foolish, how wasteful to have love within your reach and not take it!" she clamped her teeth on her trembling bottom lip to steady herself
