The Compleat Lungfish Quotes

“Living is a scary proposition. Being a person in the world and having attachments and trying to do anything is a scary proposition. It's like stepping into a desert.”
― Grant Maierhofer, The Compleat Lungfish

“In the morning, every human being must contend with the reality that they are yet again themselves, and there's no cure for that, and slowly human being must get up and exist yet again within themselves, within that body, and carry with it every dumb thought it carries, and slowly stumble through the remainder of the day until human being can rest yet more and flee the living they're forced to endure.”
― Grant Maierhofer, The Compleat Lungfish

“The lungfish under the ground being lifted out by soldiers in lines. The dried up lake. The rotting bodies there. They don't rot. they manage not to rot. People need to learn from them. People need to not rot. People need to sit in the bed in the winter. Close yourself off from human being. Close yourself off and rest. You can eat your legs. You need to figure out how to let your body eat your legs.”
