Feelings

The problem with cynicism - always - is trying to decide whether it reflects disappointment & sourness, or a clear-eyed view of real truths about the world & the nature or meaning of what it is to be human.

To Women, As Far As I'm Concerned

The feelings I don't have I don't have.
The feelings I don't have, I won't say I have.
The feelings you say you have, you don't have.
The feelings you would like us both to have, we
neither of us have.

The feelings people ought to have, they never have.
If people say they've got feelings, you may be pretty
sure they haven't got them.

So if you want either of us to feel anything at all
you'd better abandon all idea of feelings altogether.
