More From Douglas William Jerrold

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

We hurt people by being too busy. too busy to notice their needs. too busy to drop that note of comfort or encouragement or assurance of love. too busy to listen when someone needs to talk. too busy to care.

I was still owed an explanation, i thought, but so what? what good was it going to do me? it wouldn't have made me any happier. it was like scratching when you have chicken pox. you think it's going to help, but the itch moves over, and then moves over again. my itch suddenly felt miles away, and i couldn't have reached it with the longest arms in the world. realizing that made me scared that i was going to be itchy forever, and i didn't want that.

I told her tea bags were just a convenience for people with busy lives and she said no one is so busy they can't take time to make a decent cup of tea and if you are that busy you don't deserve a decent cup of tea for what is it all about anyway? are we put into this world to be busy or to chat over a nice cup of tea?

Things break all the time. glass and dishes and fingernails. cars and contracts and potato chips. you can break a record, a horse, a dollar. you can break the ice. there are coffee breaks and lunch breaks and prison breaks. day breaks, waves break, voices break. chains can be broken. so can silence, and fever... promises break. hearts break.

The ear participates, and helps arrange marriages; the eye has already made love with what it sees. the eye knows pleasure, delights in the body's shape: the ear hears words that talk about all this. when hearing takes place, character areas change; but when you see, inner areas change. if all you know about fire is what you have heard see if the fire will agree to cook you! certain energies come only when you burn. if you long for belief, sit down in the fire! when the ear receives subtly; it turns into an eye. but if words do not reach the ear in the chest, nothing happens.

Experience serves to prove that the worth and strength of a state depend far less upon the form of its institutions than upon the character of its men; for the nation is only the aggregate of individual conditions, and civilization itself is but a question of personal, improvement.

I think it's necessary when you're dealing with a dark show that has explosion and violence to have defined moments of lightness and humor, even romance. it's important, and it deepens the character, of course.
Character Dark Thinking
Even if a story has nothing to do with my life, if i can recognise something of myself in the character and think, 'oh yeah, that's what i'd do...' yeah, that's what i look for.
Character Thinking Looks
Sometimes when i get up after writing, i'm surprised at how my body feels. suddenly i'm not a lanky, hungry young boy any more. it's no fun putting on ten years and fifty pounds all of a sudden. other times, i get up and i'm pleasantly surprised that i'm not a weary innkeeper, hopeless, with bones that feel like they're made of lead. i really sink into the characters that i write.
