More From Rick Riordan

Cool is spent. cool is empty. cool is ex post facto. when advertisers and pundits hoard a word, you know it's time to retire from it. to move on. i want to suggest, therefore, that we begin to avoid cool now. cool is a trick to get you to buy garments made by sweatshop laborers in third world countries. cool is the triumph of the will. cool enables you to step over bodies. cool enables you to look the other way. cool makes you functional, eager for routine distraction, passive, doped, stupid.

Hardship, in forcing us to exercise greater patience and forbearance in daily life, actually makes us stronger and more robust. from the daily experience of hardship comes a greater capacity to accept difficulties without losing our sense of inner calm. of course, i do not advocate seeking out hardship as a way of life, but merely wish to suggest that, if you relate to it constructively, it can bring greater inner strength and fortitude.

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

To choose a hardship for ourselves is our only defense against that hardship. this is what is meant by accepting suffering. those who, by their very nature, can suffer completely, utterly, have an advantage. that is how we can disarm the power of suffering, make it our own creation, our own choice; submit to it. a justification for suicide.

Similar Quotes
When you go apartment-hunting in the south, you encounter little old ladies who ask you if you use strong drink. in new york you encounter paranoids who wonder if you will commit suicide--not that they care; what they worry about is blood on their fresh paint, a dubious smell in the hallway, or a hole in the awning as you pass through on your way to the sidewalk. the southerner who moves to any part of the country has problems, but the culture shock that attacks the southerner who moves north is almost indescribable.

I think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.
Suicide Thinking Perfect
I've learned: when you get older, who cares? i don't mince words, i don't hold back. what are you gonna do to me? fire me? it's been done. threaten to commit suicide? done. take away my show? done! not invite to me to the vanity fair party? i've never been invited! if i ever saw the invitation, i'd use it as toilet paper.

That abominable and sensual act called reading the newspaper, thanks to which all the misfortunes and cataclysms in the universe over the last twenty-four hours, the battles which cost the lives of fifty-thousand men, the murders, the strikes, the bankruptcies, the fires, the poisonings, the suicides, the divorces, the cruel emotions of statesmen and actors, are transformed for us, who don't even care, into a morning treat, blending in wonderfully, in a particularly exciting and tonic way, with the recommended ingestion of a few sips of cafe au lait.
