More From David Sedaris

I'll tell you what me scares me is plastic. plastic bags and plastic bottles and these things. why does my water have to be in a bloody plastic bottle? the landfill and the ocean. and i don't know, i'm just terrified with the proliferation of plastic.

Speed is the form of ecstasy the technical revolution has bestowed on man. as opposed to a motorcyclist, the runner is always present in his body, forever required to think about his blisters, his exhaustion; when he runs he feels his weight, his age, more conscious than ever of himself and of his time of life. this all changes when man delegates the faculty of speed to a machine: from then on, his own body is outside the process, and he gives over to a speed that is noncorporeal, nonmaterial, pure speed, speed itself, ecstasy speed.

Honestly, depending on what stage i'm at in my life, my opinion on plastic surgery changes. i've never been against plastic surgery - i'm against bad plastic surgery. i'm against the overuse of plastic surgery.

There are at least two distinct meanings of 'hot': there is the, like, normal human definition which is that 'this individual seems suitable for mating'. and then there's the weird, culturally constructed definition of 'hot' which means, 'that individual is malnourished and has probably had plastic bags inserted into her breasts'. like, i think if you went back to the 18th century and asked a 15-year-old boy, 'would you like to marry a woman who has had plastic bags needlessly inserted into her breasts?' that 15-year-old boy would probably be like ... 'what's plastic?'

The master speed no speed of wind or water rushing by but you have speed far greater. you can climb back up a stream of radiance to the sky, and back through history up the stream of time. and you were given this swiftness, not for haste nor chiefly that you may go where you will, but in the rush of everything to waste, that you may have the power of standing still-- off any still or moving thing you say. two such as you with such a master speed from one another once you are agreed that life is only life forevermore together wing to wing and oar to oar.

The barbarian way was, in some sense, trying to create a volatile fuel to get people to step out and act. it's pretty hard to get a whole group of people moving together as individuals who are stepping into a more mystical, faith-oriented, dynamic kind of experience with christ. so, i think barbarian way was my attempt to say, "look, underneath what looks like invention, innovation and creativity is really a core mysticism that hears from god, and what is fueling this is something really ancient." that's what was really the core of the barbarian way.
