A Dentist Is Only Half

Things Could Be Worse And Things Could Be So Much Better.

All Broken Hearts Are Circumstantial. Every Lovelorn Jerk Is The Victim Of Bad Timing, Good Intentions, And Someone Else’s Poor Decision Making.

Why Shouldn't It Be That Way For The Rest Of Us? Why Not Just Go With It? Just Walk The Dog And Send The Tweets And Eat The Scones And Play With The Hamsters And Ride The Bicycles And Watch The Sunsets And Stream The Movies And Never Worry About Any Of It? I Didn't Know It Could Be That Easy. I Didn't Know That Until Just Now. That Sounds Good To Me.

I Think If There Hadn't Been The One Passage Of The Book That Mostly Abandons The Humor, And Focuses Very Intently On One Person's Struggle With Cancer, It Wouldn't Have Been A Critical Success. So That Was A Very Deliberate Decision, To Say "well, If You Think It's All Fun And Games, It's Not." So That Was My Approach: We're Going To Have As Much Fun As I Can Possibly Provide, But The Serious Things That Might Normally Pass By You Are Not Going To Be Lost.

The People At The Very Top Could Fall By And Grace You With Their Presence And Give You A Little Largesse, And You'd Be "oh, I'm So Beloved." In A Way, It Was Kind Of Like Flattery. The Middle Managers Didn't Quite Have That Cachet, But At The Same Time, They Had To Seem Like They Were Of That Caliber. So There's A Little Bit Of Loneliness At The Heart Of Those With A Little Bit Of Power.
