More From Daniel Handler

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
I wish i could explain it so someone could understand it. i'm afraid it's something i can't put into words. there's just this heavy, overwhelming despair - dreading everything. dreading life. empty inside, to the point of numbness. it's like there's something already dead inside. my whole being has been pulling back into that void for months. (81)

Spending is not caring. spending is what politicians do instead of caring. spending more does not guarantee success. politicians like to measure spending because it is easier than measuring actual metrics of accomplishment.

I dread the loss of her i've never touched love keeps me a slave in a cage of tears i gnaw my tongue with which to her i can never speak i miss a woman who was never born i kiss a woman across the years that say we shall never meet everything passes everything perishes everything palls my thought walks away with a killing smile leaving discordant anxiety which roars in my soul no hope no hope no hope no hope no hope no hope no hope

Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. they voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others.
Life Philosophical Unique
Someone real," i hear myself saying. "someone who never has to pretend, and who i never have to pretend around. someone who's smart, but knows how to laugh at himself. someone who would listen to a symphony and start to cry, because he understands music can be too big for words. someone who knows me better than i know myself. someone i want to talk to first thing in the morning and last thing at night. someone i feel like i've known my whole life, even if i haven't.
