There's no such thing as advice to the lovelorn. If they took advice, they wouldn't be lovelorn. You see, advice and lovelorn don't go together. Because advice makes love sound like some sort of cognitive activity, but we know that it isn't. We all know that it's some sort of horrible chemical reaction over which we have absolutely no control. And that's why advice doesn't work.

The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure.

As I said before Kid, you walk out of here, and I'm having you brought back. As many times as it takes, I will have you brought the f**k back. You can go ahead and test me on that if you want, but I suggest you no. The smart thing would be to take my advice. I may be a coke Addict and a fellow Patient and a F**k-Up of the First Order, but I am giving you good advice. Be smart, be strong, be proud, live honorably and with dignity and just hold on.

 

James Frey

 

That it is unwise to be heedless ourselves while we are giving advice to others, I will show in a few lines.

 

Phaedrus

 

Look at it this way. Anyone who has got any pleasure at all from living should try to put something back. Life is like a superlative meal and the world is the maître d'hôtel. What I am doing is the equivalent of leaving a reasonable tip. ... I'm glad to be giving something back because I've been so extraordinarily lucky and had such great pleasure from it.
