Being alive, if you had to define it, meant emitting a variety of smells

I'm all alone, but I'm not lonely.

If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there's salvation in life. Even if you can't get together with that person.

Time flows in strange ways on Sundays, and sights become mysteriously distorted.

A person learns how to love himself through the simple acts of loving and being loved by someone else.

Life is not like water. Things in life don't necessarily flow over the shortest possible route.

I can bear any pain as long as it has meaning.

It is not that the meaning cannot be explained. But there are certain meanings that are lost forever the moment they are explained in words.

This is what it means to live on. When granted hope, a person uses it as fuel, as a guidepost to life. It is impossible to live without hope.

It's not me but the world that's deranged.

What I want is for the two of us to meet somewhere by chance one day, like, passing on the street, or getting on the same bus.

You could just as well say that an agnostic is a deeply religious person with at least a rudimentary knowledge of human fallibility.

You should feel so driven to help the world that it would weigh you down if a single person received anything but the best.

Integrity is a most valued human quality.

Friends come and go but enemies accumulate.

It is well if the good man himself does not feel his devotions a little clouded, those foggy sensuous steams mingling with and polluting the pure altar surface.

I've learned all I need to know to live under a bed.

Hillary Clinton failed on the economy, just like she's failed on foreign policy. Everything she touched didn't work out. Nothing.

Despite my professional experience, the fifteen-hour workdays, and a successful new show that I had helped build, MSNBC was still refusing to pay me what I was worth.

Man is a biped without feathers.

Life is full of constant ups and downs, and all I ask for is redemption in the end.
