More From Susan Sontag

I need a good book i need a good story. i need a good book. the kind that explodes off the shelf. i need some good writing, alive and exciting, to contemplate all by myself. i need a good novel, i need a good read. i probably need two or three. i need a good tale of love and betrayal or perhaps an adventure at sea. i need a good saga. i need a good yarn. a momentous and mightily or slight one. but with thousands and thousands and thousands of books, i need someone to tell me the right one. -john lithgow
Betrayal Book Writing
A new study finds that women use their whole brain when listening and men only use half of their brain. you see, men use the other half of their brain to come up with excuses. i don't think women use their whole brain when listening. i think they use half of it and the other half is used to memorize what men are saying so they can use it against them 10 years later!
Men Thinking Years
We need scientists to design new fuels. we need farmers to help grow them. we need engineers to invent new technologies. we need entrepreneurs to sell those technologies. we need workers to operate assembly lines that hum with high-tech, zero-carbon components. we need builders to hammer into place the foundations for a clean energy age. we need diplomats and businessmen and women, and peace corps volunteers to help developing nations skip past the dirty phase of development and transition to sustainable sources of energy. in other words, we need you.
Zero Dirty Past
What we really need is somebody who loves us so much we don’t worry about death, or about [anything for that matter]… we need this; we need this so we can love other people purely and not for selfish gain, we need this so we can see everybody as equals, we need this so our relationships can be sincere, we need this so we can stop kicking ourselves around, we need this so we can lose all self-awareness and find ourselves for the first time, not by realizing some dream, but by being told who we are by the only being who has the authority to know, by that i mean the creator.
Dream Selfish Mean
Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. never use a long word where a short one will do. if it is possible to cut a word out always cut it out. never use the passive voice where you can use the active. never use a foreign phrase a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday english equivalent. break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
Cutting Thinking Passive Voice
Understand clearly that when a great need appears a great use appears also; when there is small need there is small use; it is obvious, then, that full use is made of all things at all times according to the necessity thereof.
Desire Needs Use
