In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.
Suicide Heart Years
Do you have doubts about life? are you unsure if it's worth the trouble? look at the sky: that is for you. look at each person's face as you pass on the street: those faces are for you. and the street itself, and the ground under the street and the ball of fire underneath the ground: all these things are for you. they are as much for you as they are for other people. remember this when you wake up in the morning and think you have nothing. stand up and face the east. now praise the sky and praise the light within each person under the sky. it's okay to be unsure. but praise, praise, praise.

I've tried to be a better person... i've tried, and tried and tried! you know how hard i've tried! tell me how i've tried..." "nice try... five cents, please!

I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
Writing Hard Times Thinking
I'd like to be remembered as a guy who tried - who tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being. someone who isn't complacent, who doesn't cop out.

But what if it were you? what if you were stuffed in a human body and let loose on this planet only to find yourself lost among your own kind? what if you were such a good person that you tried to save the life that you'd taken that you almost died trying to get her back to her family? what if you then found yourself surrounded by violent aliens who hated you and tried to hurt you and tried to murder you over and over again? what if you just kept doing whatever you could to save and heal people despite that? wouldn't you deserve a life too? wouldn't you have earned that much?

I don't want to hurt people's feelings if i can help it. i don't want anyone unnecessarily humiliated, but i say whatever stands between you and justice must give way; and if you have to walk over reputations — and if they become pavement you cannot help it.

This is deeply disturbing. congress provided loans to help businesses hurt by the sept. 11 attacks, not to be used as an accounting gimmick to cover up this administration's failure to provide for small businesses.

The prophet isaiah ... points out what will be the cause of this change; for he says that hatred, quarrel, and fighting will come to an end, because men will have a true knowledge of god.
