More From Joseph Joubert

When dawn looked at vic, she saw vic exactly as he wanted to be seen. whereas vic's parents couldn't help seeing who he used to be, and so many friends and strangers couldn't help seeing who he didn't want to be anymore, dawn only saw him. call it a blur if you want, but dawn didn't see a blur. she saw a very distinct, very clear person.

You can give words, but you can't take them. and when words are given, that is when they are shared. we remember what that was like. words so real they were almost tangible. there are conversations you remember, for certain. but more than that, there is the sensation of conversation. you will remember that, even when the precise words begin to blur.
Real Giving Tangible
The words 'alone,' 'lonely,' and 'loneliness' are three of the most powerful words in the english language. those words say that we are human; they are like the words hunger and thirst. but they are not words about the body, they are words about the soul.
Lonely Powerful Loneliness
When we try to make everything clear, we make everything confused. if, however, we admit one mysterious thing in the universe, then everything else becomes clear in the light of that. the sun is so bright, so mysterious, that one cannot look at it, and yet in the light of the sun everything else is seen.
Confused Illumination Light
The first time we meet another person an insidious little voice in our heads says, "i might wear eyeglasses or be chunky around the hips or a girl, but at least i'm not gay or black or a jew." meaning: i may be me- but at least i have the good sense not to be you.
Girl Gay Voice
Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns eyeglasses. he is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else.
