Isolationist Ponderer Gifts

The sun

Cellphone Islands

"Needs to get a life"

'If no man is an island, then what the hell is no woman?'

"Day 4,261... I don’t know how much longer I can survive. Still no signs of civilization. Food is scarce and I fear the wound on my ankle is infected. Still, all this pales in comparison to the horror of having to be anywhere at any particular time."

"...I don't believe in the past or the future. I don't even believe in right now. Everyone remembers the past differently. Everyone imagines the future differently. Everyone even disagrees about what's happening right now. So who's to say tomorrow what you and I did tonight?"

'Why don't you try seeing it from your point of view?'

"May I offer a very different scenario?"

'And I thought I had a big egg to lay.'

"Definitive." "Compelling." "Persuasive." "Upside down."

"OK...for today I want a 500-word essay on what you know about nothing."

"I'll have dessert first."

"It is just as the Oracle foretold!"

'Congratulations, you've got the job. Unfortunately though, you'll be constantly late, and we'll fire you in two months.'

Artist chained to his drawing.

'I say we try it.'

The Portrait of Dorian Gray after one year in lockdown.

'A-1 security from crime ... but can't stand the isolation.'

Sign pointing to 'hindsight' and 'foresight'

Me when by BDD shows up

The sad case of the blind-men and the elephant.

'You'll be going on a long journey this Christmas.'

'The hardest part of being a street crazy is picking each day's sign.'

"Half full, or half empty? Do you want a positive spin, or a negative spin?"

'He's always looking for an argument!'

"Never mind how other see you, how do you see yourself?"

The End is Near.

Man looking down long telescope at himself.

"One man's dirty water is another man's Earl Grey."

Man looking at a vending machine with a hand sticking out of it and a sign that reads "Put'er there buddy".

"It kind of puts it all in perspective, doesn't it?"

Never being able to think of the right thing to say at the right time phobia.

A self-filling prophecy.
