work
'Cerebus' is my attempt at a literary work.
audience
I like the idea that my audience doesn't see what I do as controversial.
leftists subject
Leftists always want to... circle around subjects... rather than addressing any subject directly.
profound want unseen
Once a profound truth has been seen, it cannot be 'unseen'. There's no 'going back' to the person you were. Even if such a possibility did exist... why would you want to?
normal knows
Everyone is normal until you get to know them.
men office persons
You can measure a man's worth by the breed of person he throws out of his office.
given dwarfs my-own
I take it as a given that God's knowledge of the Cerebus storyline dwarfs my own as God's knowledge of everything dwarfs my own.
couple thinking generations
The evidence that I see around me in society indicates that not only is thinking very much out of favor, but I'm not sure that the last couple of generations - Generation X and Generation Next, or whatever you want to call them - even know what a thought is, having been raised to be women.
cat trying want
In my experience women are like cats. When you don't want them you can't get rid of them and when you do want them it's like trying to pick up lint with a magnet.
firsts done demon
Anything done for the first time unleashes a demon.
mean thinking blood
I think the more rational explanation is that the excision of a five-to-six-foot leech from the surface of a human body means that that body is going to have more of its own blood in its own veins. Unless the leech finds another body, it is going to go hungry.
distance destiny games
The problem is maddening. The thing you seek is so close, you feel you could reach out and touch it. You feel it is your immutable destiny to do so. You have not come this far and at such a cost merely to turn around and go back. There is a solution. Of this you are certain. Now, no longer a game of mass, a game of destiny, it has become, instead a contest of wills. You focus on That Which You Seek as if your gaze alone might bring it closer or narrow the distance between you. Just as it feels as if your mind itself will explode from the strain.
axes use grind
God grinds the axes he intends to use.
falling-in-love smoking looks
Falling in love makes smoking pot all day look like the ultimate in restraint.
