Uhh, All is one doesn’t mean that time can freeze. I am not sure if this is intentionally obtuse or a joke?

Ironically, I did write / rewrite many of his wiki articles which is why my arguments T resemble those. The only one I completely rewrote was Lysis because it was all done in ESL kraut speak.

The narrator is never named except by in one brief reference as “Marcel.” However, you can infer his last name begins with an S because in the Combray section he mentions that his fathers surname started with an S.

Google is much slower for me because the machine or whatever picked up what I say and now filters it to make it very hard for me to speak to you.


I was almost tempted to steal that phone to get awah from ALL of you but it had no charger so it would’ve been pointless anyway unless all iPhone chargers go together?

This situation is unfair because SHE has to see this and Philip made it so I had to btfo him AND discuss his wife’s mental problem in front of a crowd. She quoted fucking Bugs Bunny ona board dedicated to western canon writers. She is VERY touched in the head and it is so fucking unfair that he made it an issue with my father that I wanted to get away from babysitting her nearly every other week. Him having an issue with this is partly why I have been so rage filled these past years.

That should NEVER have been on a 25 yr olds shoulders to watch cartoons with your special wife all the time to keep her from having meltdowns. I curse Alyssa’s dad each day for putting us both in this situation.

That would boil down to your definition of “need” and in what context. I do not need love or conversation from anyone (for the most part) but there are other needs which we need met from outside ourselves. Mostly, I would want to get out of my current situation and never look back.

The natural world remains at a distance, because it is apprehended only by the senses. So too do human beings: "A real human being, however profoundly we sympathize with him, is in large part perceived by our senses, that is to say, remains opaque to us, presents a dead weight which our sensibility cannot lift."

Fictional characters, on the other hand, occur "within us." The novelist "provokes in us within one hour all possible happinesses and all possible unhappinesses just a few of which we would spend years of our lives coming to know and the most intense of which would never be revealed to us because the slowness with which they occur prevents us from perceiving them."
