Time is a funny thing. i was always puzzled with the way a single day could stretch itself out to the point of eternity in your mind, all while years melted down into the fraction of a second.

More From Gloria Naylor

I'm not offended. lenny bruce taught me that everything's funny. you can make everything funny. i don't think that assassinations are funny, i don't think you can make fun of isis, but almost everything is funny. and if we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? so i don't mind ethnic humor. i like ethnic humor. i like dialect jokes. laughter is a very subjective thing. if it's funny to you it's funny. and a lot of things are funny to me.
Laughter Fun Thinking
The problem is that we live in an uptight country. why don't we just laugh at ourselves? we are funny. gays are funny. straights are funny. women are funny. men are funny. we are all funny, and we all do funny things. let's laugh about it.

Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.
Mean Atheism Way
We said that a single injustice, a single crime, a single illegality, particularly if it is officially recorded, confirmed, a single wrong to humanity, a single wrong to justice and to right, particularly if it is universally, legally, nationally, commodiously accepted, that a single crime shatters and is sufficient to shatter the whole social pact, the whole social contract, that a single legal crime, a single dishonorable act will bring about the loss of ones honor, the dishonor of a whole people. it is a touch of gangrene that corrupts the entire body.
Loss People Justice
Everything that from eternity has happened in heaven and earth, the life of god and all the deeds of time simply are the struggles for spirit to know itself, to find itself, be for itself, and finally unite itself to itself; it is alienated and divided, but only so as to be able thus to find itself and return to itself...as existing in an individual form, this liberation is called 'i'; as developed to its totality, it is free spirit; as feeling, it is love; and as enjoyment, it is blessedness.
Love Struggle Heaven
Death’s a funny thing. i used to think it was a big, sudden thing, like a huge owl that would swoop down out of the night and carry you off. i don’t anymore. i think it’s a slow thing. like a thief who comes to your house day after day, taking a little thing here and a little thing there, and one day you walk round your house and there’s nothing there to keep you, nothing to make you want to stay. and then you lie down and shut up forever. lots of little deaths until the last big one.

Lying Self Knowing Who You Are
Lying mouth to mouth, kiss to kiss in the pillow dark, loin to loin in unbelievable surrendering sweetness so distant from all our mental fearful abstractions it makes you wonder why men have termed god antisexual somehow (p. 148)
Lying Dark Kissing
Who honors those we love for the very life we live? who sends monsters to kill us...and at the same time sings that we'll never die? who teaches us what's real...and how to laugh at lies? who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend? who chains us...and who holds the key that can set us free? it's you. you have all the weapons you need. now fight!
Real Lying Fighting
So how on earth can i bring a child into the world, knowing that such sorrow lies ahead, that it is such a large part of what it means to be human? i'm not sure. that's my answer: i'm not sure.
