Believe Fire Being Myself
Three of the four elements are shared by all creatures, but fire was a gift to humans alone. smoking cigarettes is as intimate as we can become with fire without immediate excruciation. every smoker is an embodiment of prometheus, stealing fire from the gods and bringing it on back home. we smoke to capture the power of the sun, to pacify hell, to identify with the primordial spark, to feed on the marrow of the volcano. it’s not the tobacco we’re after but the fire. when we smoke, we are performing a version of the fire dance, a ritual as ancient as lightning.

In any case, fire burns; that's its nature, and you can't expect to change that. you can use it to cook your meat or to burn down your neighbor's house. and is the fire you use for cooking any different from the one you use for burning? and does that mean you should eat your supper raw?" maddy shook her head, still puzzled. "so what you're saying is . . . i shouldn't play with fire," she said at last. of course you should," said one-eye gently. "but don't be surprised if the fire plays back.

I used to rent a house in princeton, new jersey, and whenever people came to visit me, i would drive them past albert einstein's house, which is the most ordinary house in princeton - a house, let me assure you, that now a salesman wouldn't live in. i'd always say, "that was albert einstein's house." and they'd say, "what do you mean? why would albert einstein live in a little house like that?" and i'd always say to people, "because he didn't care!"
Mean Past People

The cord-cutting generation hates cable tv 'cause they think they're corporations and they rip people off and they make you buy a bunch of channels you never watch in order to get the channels that you do watch. they've always said, "we want to be a la cart. we want to be able to cord-cut. we want to be able to watch what we want." so it's now evolving where if they only want to watch hbo they can but they have to pay for it. if they only want to watch cinemax, they can, but have to pay for it.
