everyone now knows how to find the meaning of life within himself. but mankind wasn't always so lucky. ... mankind, ignorant of the truths that lie within every human being, looked outward - pushed ever outward. what mankind hoped to learn in its outward push was who was actually in charge of all creation, and what all creation was all about. mankind flung its advance agents ever outward, ever outward. eventually it flung them out into space, into the colorless, tasteless, weightless sea of outwardness without end. it flung them like stones. these unhappy agents found what had already been found in abundance on earth - a nightmare of meaninglessness without end. the bounties of space, of infinite outwardness, were three: empty heroics, low comedy and pointless death. outwardness lost, at last, its imagined attractions. only inwardness remained to be explored. only the human soul remained terra incognita. this was the beginning of goodness and wisdom.

you said come wander with me love come wander with me away from this sad world come wander with me. we'll move through a sunset you'll add to the glow across the ocean where a family grows. your beautiful blue eyes fill me with love put to rest my wanderlust. because we wander together we wander alone we wander all day without leaving home. i came from the night i claimed i am she who claims all your sorrows and you'll love only me

you know that when its freezing thats my favorite time to breathe in and that my best thinking happens in the morning when you're fresh out bed and your hair is a mess. a whole day where we don't have to get dressed. when your eyes are wide and stare into mine is when i love you best. i witnessed it when you admitted that everything significant in our little lives should transpire beneath the open sky. on a sunny day on an icy lake you said you'd take me and that you would make a man of me. so please, because i believed, oh please baby both of our sake

Bea, if i seem indifferent to your misfortunes it's only because i know how well things are going to turn out in the end. it it seems crude of me not to hate the idea of your pairing off with Constant, its only a humble admission on my part that he will make you a far better husband than i ever was, or will be. look forward to being really in love for the first time Bea. look forward to behaving aristocratically without any outward proof of your aristocracy, look forward to having nothing but the dignity and intelligence and tenderness that god gave you. look forward to taking those materials, and nothing else, and making something exquisite with them. -winston niles rumfoord

No One Runs 02:38
no one looks like you. no one looks at me in love like you. the times i feel all those eyes on me well they only see me looking at you. no one laughs like you do. no one laughs and cracks their voice like you. if you're ever lonely you'd still look so fine you like to be on your own sometimes. while i always run to find something to always occupy my mind i'll always run to your side. no one cries like you do. and when you do part of me's dying to help you. i can't help it when tom hanks' eyes tear, when one your cries i always cry too. when you're eyes are dry and you have to hide mine from our friends like after the place beyond the pines... next time just tell 'em endings always make me cry.

Constant: My mate died today Sale: Sorry. i would say, "is there anything i can do?" but skip once told me that that was the most hateful and stupid expression in the english language Constant: I miss her Salo: You finally fell in love i see Constant: Only an earthling year ago. it took us that long to realize that a purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved Salo: if you and your soon would like a ride back to earth, it wouldn't be much out of my way Constant: my boy joined the bluebirds Salo: good for him! i'd join them too...if they'd have me Constant: earth... Salo: we could be there in a matter of hours, now that ship's running again Constant: it's lonely here without....

bag is packed trip been planned nothing to do but go. i know she said but the weather's bad to take the boat across Paradox Lake. why not just call it a day? Paradox Lake she jumped in as i swam away. bag is packed trip been planned nothing to do but go. i know she said but the wind is bad to take the boat across Paradox Lake. not just call it a day?

o lord most high, creator of the cosmos, spinner of galaxies, soul of electromagnetic waves, inhaler and exhaler of inconceivable volumes of vacuum, spitter of fire and rock, trifler with millennia - what could we do for thee that thou couldst not do for thyself one octillion times better? nothing. what could we do or say that could possibly interest thee? nothing. oh, mankind, rejoice in the apathy of our creator, for it makes us free and truthful and dignified at last. no longer can a fool like Malachi Constant point to a ridiculous accident of good luck and say, 'somebody up there likes me.' and no longer can a tyrant say, 'god wants this or that to happen, and anybody who doesn't help this or that to happen is against god.' o lord most high, what a glorious weapon is thy apathy, for we have unsheathed it, have thrust and slashed mightily with it, and the claptrap that has so often enslaved us or driven us into the madhouse lies slain!" -the reverend c. horner redwine, the church of the weary space wanderer - barnstable first church of god the utterly indifferent

christ the lord is risen today alleluia! sons of men and angels say alleluia! raise your joys and triumphs high. alleluia! sing ye heavens and earth reply. alleluia! i was born with god inside and the freedom to decide. i don't think it's all for me but i still find it interesting. alleluia! i go to church when i'm inspired but not when i am kind of tired. i don't know if god exists, if he does he's in the mountains. alleluia! if we believed we'd praise today our savior's risen from the grave. even if it's make believe we'll have our own reason to sing if you will marry me. will you marry me?

kind sir i see you've come again pray tell me what it's for i thought i told you on yonder hill you need not come anymore. kind miss i have a very fine house and also a very fine yard and it should be at your command if you would be my bride. kind sir i know you have a very fine house and also a very fine yard but who would stay with me every night while you was playing your cards? kind miss i have a very fine horse that stands in yonder barn and it should be at your command whenever you wish to ride. kind sir i know you have a very fine horse that stands in yonder barn i'm afraid his master would get drunk and sell his horse for rum. kind miss you are a hard old case and most too hard to please some cold night when we're alone i hope to the lord you'll see it ain't so bad being with me. i know i am a hard old case but not too hard for you it took four years and seventeen days of loving me to prove that i could marry a drunkard like you.
