Re: Quote of the day

Not being deaf myself [and never having interacted at length with anyone who was] I can only speculate that this is an entirely different manner in which to embody dasein.

American Splendor Harvey: I’ll make room for you, okay? You just have to give me time. I’m not so good at these things. Joyce: Because you’re obsessive-compulsive. Harvey: Come on! I don’t wanna hear that psycho-babble crap. Joyce: I don’t care if you don’t wanna hear it. You are the poster child f...
