I have been to lots of partiesand acted perfectly disgracefulbut I never actually collapsedoh Lana Turner we love you get up

O my enormous piano, you are not like being outdoors

oh god it’s wonderful to get out of bed and drink too much coffee and smoke too many cigarettes and love you so much

I am the least difficult of men. All I want is boundless love.

Now I am quietly waiting for the catastrophe of my personality to seem beautiful again, and interesting, and modern.

the only truth is face to face, the poem whose words become your mouth and dying in black and white we fight for what we love, not are

Grace / to be born and live as variously as possible

And always embrace things, people earth sky stars, as I do, freely and with the appropriate sense of space.

Oh! kangaroos, sequins, chocolate sodas! / You really are beautiful! Pearls, / harmonicas, jujubes, aspirins!

I don't think I want to win anything I think I want to die unadorned.

And don't worry about your lineage poetic or natural.

Some days I feel like I will die for them. Some days, with them.

Oh, you cherry petals, On this calm and balmy day, Why are you so restless, So keen to fly away? / ひさかたの 光のどけき 春の日に しづ心なく 花の散るらむ

You cannot expect a corrupt law enforcement system to prosecute the illegal activities of corporations and their government minions.

Every problem is a new puzzle.

The home to everyone is to him his castle and fortress, as well for his defence against injury and violence, as for his repose.

I'm the most stubborn person I know.

For diplomacy to be effective, words must be credible - and no one can now doubt the word of America.

To be selfish is to sacrifice the nobler for the meaner ends, and to be sordidly content.

Sometimes I feel like I'm a preacher as well, 'cause I can really get into an audience.

I may be no better, but at least I am different.
