I don't own any mirrors. The one in my bathroom belongs to the owner of my building. Oh wait, there are the mirrors of my car. But I don't take them with me everywhere I go. Sometimes I take the bus. OK, that's a lie. I never ride the bus. But sometimes I walk. Er-mm. That is a lie too. OK, forget it. You win. :squiffy:

Nobody "wins." It's a quotes thread, not an apologize-for-yourself-every-time-something-hits-too-close-to-home-thread.
 
What f*cking iceberg are you posting from? Geez.

I offered a random quote from Bukowski about the irony of women libbers who carry mirrors around with them everywhere. The post was (largely) contextual and from the 1970s.

You immediately responded by taking it personally and explaining how you don't carry a mirror around everywhere.

I said you don't need to apologize for yourself or justify your lifestyle.

You then apologized for your apology by saying you had only been joking.

I said it was not a matter to lose sleep over.

You accused me of being cold.

Makes sense to me.

In reverse...

Your reply was colder than your typical response to me has been in the near past. It felt less than friendly.

I never took the quote personally. I am not vain. And I was making a joke. Or was trying to. I was not trying to defend feminists with compacts.

“The only obsession everyone wants: 'love.' People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you're whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You're whole, and then you're cracked open.”

Philip Roth
