There is romance, the genuine glinting stuff, in typewriters, and not merely in their development from clumsy giants into agile dwarfs, but in the history of their manufacture, which is filled with raids, battles, lonely pioneers, great gambles, hope, fear, despair, triumph.

lonely teenager men
Let's be clear about what people never say about Playboy on television. It was nothing more than an instrument for onanism. That's what it was.

It turns out no one bought that magazine for the articles ever; it was used for only one thing. Greg Gutfeld

It's an unnerving thought that we may be the living universe's supreme achievement and its worst nightmare simultaneously. Bill Bryson

Sometimes I would get invited to a party or to go out to dinner by one of them and I would decline. Part of me wanted to go, but those kind of outings always made me feel even more alienated than usual. Hearing them talk made me feel lonely and hateful at the same time. Lonely because I didn't fit in, never did. When I was reminded, it hurt. And hateful because it reaffirmed what I already knew, that I was alone and on the outside. Henry Rollins
