More From Jack Nicholson

Today's children are living a childhood of firsts. they are the first daycare generation; the first truly multicultural generation; the first generation to grow up in the electronic bubble, the environment defined by computers and new forms of television; the first post-sexual revolution generation; the first generation for which nature is more abstraction than reality; the first generation to grow up in new kinds of dispersed, deconcentrated cities, not quite urban, rural, or suburban.

The guy i've got my eye on happens to be hot. off-the-charts hot. hotter-than-patch hot.' she paused. 'well maybe not that hot. nobody's that hot.
Eye Guy Hot
Hot blood begets hot thoughts, and hot thoughts beget hot deeds, and hot deeds is love.
Blood Deeds Hot
"god", "immortality of the soul", "redemption", "beyond" - without exception, concepts to which i have never devoted any attention, or time; not even as a child. perhaps i have never been childlike enough for them? i do not by any means know atheism as a result; even less as an event: it is a matter of course with me, from instinct. i am too inquisitive, too questionable, too exuberant to stand for any gross answer. god is a gross answer, an indelicacy against us thinkers - at bottom merely a gross prohibition for us: you shall not think!

The storyteller is deep inside everyone of us. the story-maker is always with us. let us suppose our world is attacked by war, by the horrors that we all of us easily imagine. let us suppose floods wash through our cities, the seas rise . . . but the storyteller will be there, for it is our imaginations which shape us, keep us, create us - for good and for ill. it is our stories that will recreate us, when we are torn, hurt, even destroyed. it is the storyteller, the dream-maker, the myth-maker, that is our phoenix, that represents us at our best, and at our most creative.
Dream Hurt War
Think of what big governments have gotten up to in this century : not one, but two world wars, the gulag, the holocaust, aerial bombing of civilian population centers, the berlin wall, nuclear explosions, the post office. a wicked individual might want these, but he wouldn't have the cash and connections to get them. a villainous corporation could afford them but has to market the products. the vietnam draft would be a tough sell for even the most fiendish businessmen. "get shot! get killed! get diseases from foreign women who despise you in their hearts!"

Wall Looks Framed
It's like the smell of burned toast. you made the toast. you looked forward to it. you even enjoyed making it, but it burned. what were you doing? was it your fault? it doesn't matter anymore. you open the window, but only the very top layer of the smell goes away. the rest remains around you. it's the walls. you leave the room, but it's on your clothes. you change your clothes, but it's in your hair. it's on the thin skin on the tops of your hand. and in the morning, it's still there.
Morning Wall Hair
All the pictures on the walls, they all white as lilies and smiling like alligators.
