More From Harlan Ellison

Have you ever rightly considered what the mere ability to read means? that it is the key which admits us to the whole world of thought and fancy and imagination? to the company of saint and sage, of the wisest and the wittiest at their wisest and wittiest moment? that it enables us to see with the keenest eyes, hear with the finest ears, and listen to the sweetest voices of all time? more than that, it annihilates time and space for us.
Reading Mean Eye
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
Say thank you! i want to hear you say it now. out loud. 'thank you.' you're saying thank you because your faith is so strong that you don't doubt that whatever the problem, you'll get through it. you're saying thank you because you know that even in the eye of the storm, god has put a rainbow in the clouds. you're saying thank you because you know there's no problem created that can compare to the creator of all things. say thank you!

Would you please please please please please please please stop talking?
Talking Please
I read reviews of critics i respect and feel i can learn something from. right now there are a lot of bottom-feeder critics who just have access to a computer and don't necessarily have an academic or cinema background that i can detect, so i tend to ignore that and stay with the same top-tier critics that i've come to respect. i like reading a good review - it doesn't have to be favorable, but a well-thought-out one - because i very much appreciate the relationship of directors and critics.
Reading Appreciate Computer
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 don't know any other lifestyle. i get up in the morning and i really do feel that the world is my oyster, and i start that way, the same as i would if i were preparing to write a song: put a blank piece of paper up on the piano and you go for it.
