More From Paula Fox

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.

When you're in hollywood and you're a comedian, everybody wants you to do other things. all right, you're a stand-up comedian, can you write us a script? that's not fair. that's like if i worked hard to become a cook, and i'm a really good cook, they'd say, "ok, you're a cook. can you farm?"

Oh god, are there so many of them in our land! students who can’t be happy until they’ve graduated, servicemen who can’t be happy until they are discharged, single folks who can’t be happy until they’ve found a mate, workers who can’t be happy until they’ve retired, adolescents who aren’t happy until they’re grown, ill people who aren’t happy until they’re well, failures who aren’t happy until they succeed, restless who can’t wait until they get out of town, and in most cases, vice versa, people waiting, waiting for the world to begin.

One of my optimistic prophecies is based on the assumption that machines could have the best algorithms in the universe, but it will never have purpose. and the problem for us to explain purpose to a machine is because we don't know what our purpose is. we have the purpose, but we still ... when we look at this global picture, a universal picture, to understand what is our purpose being here on this planet? we don't know.
Optimistic Purpose Assumption
Every so often i would look at my women friends who were happily married and didn't cook, and i would always find myself wondering how they did it. would anyone love me if i couldn't cook? i always thought cooking was part of the package: step right up, it's rachel samstat, she's bright, she's funny and she can cook!

May you shelter in the palm of the creator's hand, and may the last embrace of the mother welcome you home.

A cardinal rule of writing is never interrupt yourself to explain something. if you must bring up an obscure topic, drop informative hints about it as you go along so that you don't end up with the entire explanation all in one place. this keeps you from skidding to a stop and sounding teacherish. otherwise it's better to omit the obscure topic altogether, or as mothers might put it: if you can't say it interestingly, don't say it at all.
Mother Writing Topics
In the '50s you had to wear pink ribbons if you were a girl, and you were supposed to become a hairdresser or a secretary. i couldn't stomach it. later on, when i fell in love with my husband and had children, that's when my mother's earthiness or sense of femaleness kicked in.
