More From Meghan O'Rourke

Fake is not a word i like to use because there's nothing fake about what i do. it's a show, it's a predetermined outcome; we're putting on a television drama, action, comedy, whatever you want to call it - but it's not fake. fake would be if i was just about to take a body slam, and my stuntman did it. fake would be if i was going to take a chair shot to the head, and the chair was made of rubber. i'll tell the world that it's a show, but i hate the word fake. it's such an unfair term to us.
Hate Drama Fake
I don't think fake people living in a fake house in a fake suburb are any less dismissible or believable than a fake psychic attending a fake school in a fake town. nothing's inherently believable about any kind of fiction, because all of it's untrue.

I nodded. i liked augustus waters. i really, really, really liked him. i liked the way his story ended with someone else. i liked his voice. i liked that he took existentially fraught free throws. i liked that he was a tenured professor in the department of slightly crooked smiles with a dual appointment in the department of having a voice that made my skin feel more like skin. and i liked that he had two names. i’ve always liked people with two names, because you get to make up your mind what you call them: gus or augustus? me, i was always just hazel, univalent hazel.

Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. i loved it. i answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one i lingered over. i sent him a card and i drew a picture of a wild thing on it. i wrote, “dear jim: i loved your card.” then i got a letter back from his mother and she said, “jim loved your card so much he ate it.” that to me was one of the highest compliments i’ve ever received. he didn’t care that it was an original maurice sendak drawing or anything. he saw it, he loved it, he ate it.

The concerted effort to minimize christmas has resulted in it being our national happy holiday holiday. the christmas season is now the holiday season. christmas parties are now holiday parties. christmas is a time for giving and receiving presents and in many homes, nothing more. who is this fellow, jesus christ, anyway?

Absolutely pay off credit card debt. if you're not getting a match in your 401(k) and you've got credit card debt, you've got to get yourself out of credit card debt. when you get out of credit card debt, your credit score goes up and interest starts to go down.

A world in which government is burdened by historic debt, philanthropy has limited resources, and the private sector is only interested in its own personal gain is simply unsustainable.

I try never to worry in general. worry is interest paid in advance on a debt that never comes due.
Worry Trying Debt
The charge is prepared; the lawyers are met; the judges all ranged (a terrible show!) i go, undismay'd. for death is a debt, a debt on demand. so take what i owe.
Judging Debt Demand
The only frontier now left to exploit is not a frontier in space but a frontier in time. we steal the future from our children by plunging massively deeper and deeper into debt.
