Pithy Observations

[summerisle]

I empathise completely :

"It didn't seem to matter where he spread life's tartan rug, there was always a turd on the grass".

From the novel Field Grey by Philip Kerr.

Not sure if it's truly pithy, but one I like is:

"Learn to Love a Hangover. Nurture and adore it like sad music. This Cinderella of debauch is a hidden boon, perhaps its greatest one; because wise decisions are made there. A good hangover, a few hours into its term, brings hunger, and gratitude at survival; it resets the human condition to its default, admittedly wretched but also realistic and serene, disinclined to mayhem. It’s a window from the deathbed looking back, where we wish less jarring choices had been made. Therefore make no decisions while drunk—but use the hangover to make them at your most prudent, human calibration.”

-DBC Pierre, from the novel lights out in wonderland
