  2. Mark Z. Danielewski _ Honeysuckle & Pain

    It is understood that the world does not want to be understood. The world would not be this world if it did.

  3. Mark Z. Danielewski _ Honeysuckle & Pain

    Do we miss not only the past but every future the lost past describes? Is that just the nature of missing? All the lost might-have-beens? The certainty that those uncertain futures are gone? If we can't embrace uncertainty do we miss the point of love?

    Remember you future counselors and bringers of relief: there will never be a cure for life's problems because so many of tomorrow's problems will be new. Good words, like good work and good thinking, help, even if good words are a lot like highway paint. They can keep plenty of heavy things moving at 70 MPH from going the wrong way. But that doesn't mean life won't cross over if it has to. Learn to avoid the collisions. Find other directions. Often a new yes is the best no. Life lived well doesn't get easier but it does get better. Learn to let things go by. And don't be reluctant: life is al{l}ways surpassing us by. Enjoy it.

  8. Mark Z. Danielewski _ Honeysuckle & Pain

    But tomorrow came faster than expected, as if the future were never somewhere else, but all along part of the fabric of every present, merely untwining itself again and again into a new distinction that could never be new again.

    Even up until these final eons of time, we felt we could create anything.We could build ourselves a heaven.But why?We were Heaven already.Only in the very end did we try to build a S.O.U.L.That which would outlast V.E.M., outlast The Verse, outlast death.But it was impossible.Or we were too late.Though still the H.O.L.Y. tried.And built Hell instead.

  10. Mark Z. Danielewski _ Honeysuckle & Pain

    -what I'm about to ask you I'm not asking you because I'm black, though I still reserve the right to make that a big fucking part of whatever the fuck I ask you, because it's the very fucking least I deserve: do you truly believe a young black man growing up on those streets ever had a fair chance of acquiring the conscience determined and cultivated by a class that, while demanding it of everyone, through legislative action denies anyone of lesser privilege access to its creation? Conscience, like everything else true in this life, is not God-given but world-made. And a world that is unequal in its distribution of privilege must accept that the values it manifests are of its own doing.
