Black Sabbath - one of the world's universal language of music. I felt proud, for three or four minutes of my life combining my voice with Tony Iommi's guitar sound.

My optimism wears heavy boots and is loud.

Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.

No such thing as spare time, no such thing as free time, no such thing as down time. All you got is life time. Go.

I am an optimist because I want to change things for the better and I know that blood has to be spilled and disharmony and cruelty are necessary to do that.

I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds

It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.

Strength is the product of struggle, you must do what others don't to achieve what others won't.

There’s one thing about Black Sabbath which should not be understated: If Black Sabbath is missing any one of its members it’s no longer Black Sabbath.

We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.

Many people will find this book disrespectful. There is nothing amusing about being dead, they will say. Ah, but there is.

Whatever my limited knowledge, I tried to make up for it with energy.

He who wants to succeed should learn how to fight, to strive and to suffer. You can acquire a lot in life, if you are prepared to give up a lot to get it.

We live in a world of things, and our only connection with them is that we know how to manipulate or to consume them.

We print money. The people that print the money is actually us. The government of the United States of America. By its very nature, we control that, and this system is there as representation of us.

I never thought about doing a sequel when I was actually writing 'The Magicians.' I only ever considered it a standalone.

People who don't think shouldn't talk.

A friend is the hope of the heart.

You’ve no idea...my tongue has been known to let blood on four continents. (Geary)

This spiritualist, this statistician, what are you anyway?
