But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

You should know how great things were before you. Even so, they're better still today. I can't think of who I was before you ruined everything in the nicest way.

I always feel uncomfortable at parties, and I'm often nervous when talking to strangers. I don't think this makes me feel special. Maybe everybody feels this way.

Make good stuff, then make it easy for people to buy it. There’s your anti-piracy plan.

I'm just a dude and I feel like being completely isolated would be kind of a drag. I really do get a lot of energy from feedback from fans. People create music videos and artwork for my music.

It's weird but it's amazing, and it's great to know people are thinking about you. It's a huge ego boost and anyone that says they don't love that is lying.

I'm a professional Jonathan Coulton. It's partially ego, to be completely honest: It feels great to have people adoring you in that way.

I used to murder people for money, but these days it’s more of a survival technique.

Well, you can, but tell you this, that when you've got an economy that is growing at 4.9% it is the fastest growth over the last 12 months we've seen in 20 years.

No practice or tradition trumps the human rights that belong to all of us.

If I were to name the three most precious resources of life, I should say books, friends, and nature.

Jealousy does not wait for reasons.

It is always one of the tragedies of any relationship, even between people sensitive to each other's moods, that the moments of emotion so rarely coincide.

Quit praying about yourself and spend your life for the sake of others as the bondservant of Jesus. That is the true meaning of being broken bread and poured-out wine in real life.

At first I wanted to be a jockey. I rode horses in Cleveland but I kept falling off and I was afraid of horses. So there wasn't much of a future in it.

Brains aren't everything, but they're important.
