The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.

But just because you love something, I added to myself, doesn’t mean you’ll ever be great. Not if you don’t work. Most people stink at the things they love.

I love that moment. When you’re on a long car ride, or listening to music, or reading. And you completely zone out. You forget your troubles, and everyone around you. You’re focused on that one thing, and that one thing only. You’re content, and everything seems peaceful.

The reason that this farewell is so painful is because we’ll be happier the next time we meet each other.

Socializing is as exhausting as giving blood. People assume we loners are misanthropes, just sitting thinking, ‘Oh, people are such a bunch of assholes,’ but it’s really not like that. We just have a smaller tolerance for what it takes to be with others. It means having to perform. I get so tired of communicating.

“And you know, neither Teller nor I play games, and I don’t just mean video games, we don’t play games at all. We’ve never been games or sports people, but we do pride ourselves in understanding that other people can enjoy things that we don’t, and that may be the one of the hardest things for human beings to do to. To simply understand that other people may like to do things that you don’t, and there’s nothing wrong with that.”

The clitoris is pure in purpose. It is the only organ in the body designed purely for pleasure. The clitoris is simply a bundle of nerves: 8000 nerve fibres, to be precise. That’s a higher concentration of nerve fibres than is found anywhere else in the body, including the fingertips, lips, and tongue, and it is twice the number in the penis. Who needs a handgun when you’ve got a semiautomatic.
