More From Max Frisch

Things are going downhill with you!' he said to himself, and laughed about it, and as he was saying it, he happened to glance at the river, and he also saw the river going downhill, always moving on downhill, and singing and being happy through it all.
Moving Rivers Singing
Maybe it’s my own fault. maybe i led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t. maybe i made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not in the gym. maybe i made you think that every shot i took was a game winner. that my game was built on flash, and not fire. maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. maybe i led you to believe that basketball was a god given gift, and not something i worked for every single day of my life. maybe i destroyed the game. or maybe you’re just making excuses.

Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. in the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. it's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. getting happy, okay? getting happy.
Get Well Writing Making Friends
If i had been a different sort of person, maybe less impressionable, less intense, less fearful, less utterly dependent upon the perceptions of others - maybe then i would not have bought the cultural party line that thinness is the be-all and end-all of goals. maybe if my family had not been in utter chaos most of the time, maybe if my parents were a little better at dealing with their own lives maybe if i'd gotten help sooner, or if i'd gotten different help, maybe if i didn't so fiercely cherish my secret, or if i were not such a good liar, or were not quite so empty inside... maybe.
Liars Party Goal
I wanted to tell her everything, maybe if i'd been able to, we could have lived differently, maybe i'd be there with you now instead of here. maybe... if i'd said, 'i'm so afraid of losing something i love that i refuse to love anything,' maybe that would have made the impossible possible. maybe, but i couldn't do it, i had buried too much too deeply inside me. and here i am, instead of there.
Here I Am Able Too Much
But there are times in life when a door opens and you are offered a glimpse of the light on the water, and you know that if you don't take it, that door slams shut, and maybe forever. maybe you fool yourself into thinking that you had a choice at all; maybe you were always going to say yes. maybe refusing was no more a choice than is holding your breath. you were always going to breathe. you were always going to say yes.

I think the country's in trouble. and i think i have a pretty clear sense of the values and principles that have made this country great. i've had a chance to govern and lead with those in mind, with some significant success in minnesota. and i think the country needs that kind of leadership and insight and perspective.
