Most conversations are simply monologues delivered in the presence of witnesses.
Do you ever think if people heard our conversations they'd lock us up?" All the time.
None has more frequent conversations with a disagreeable self than the man of pleasure; his enthusiasms are but few and transient; his appetites, like angry creditors, are continually making fruitless demands for what he is unable to pay; and the greater his former pleasures, the more strong his regret, the more impatient his expectations. A life of pleasure is, therefore, the most unpleasing life.
I have nightmares about hell, where all I do is add up numbers and try to have conversations with people like you.
