so you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts. well what's so amazing about really deep thoughts?

"what is it about fire that is so lovely?... it's perpetual motion; the thing man wanted to invent but never did. or almost perpetual motion. if you let it go on, it'd burn our lifetimes out. what is fire? it's a mystery. scientists give us gobbledegook about friction and molecules. but they don't really know. it's real beauty is that it destroys responsibility and consequences. a problem gets to burdensome, then into the furnace with it."
