I used to pray to recover you.

Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.

If I didn’t think, I’d be much happier.

If you expect nothing from anybody, you’re never disappointed.

I ride earth's burning carousel. Day in, day out.

What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.

Go out and do something. It isn’t your room that’s a prison, it’s yourself.

I desire the things that will destroy me in the end.

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time, then I'm neurotic as hell.

Perhaps some day I'll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow.

You're arguing that the fragile, rare thing is beautiful simply because it is fragile and rare. But that's a lie, and you know it.

Everything and nothing are the same in the Absolute.

There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go.

There is no national science, just as there is no national multiplication table; what is national is no longer science.

I don't think the world objectively exists the way we think it exists. There's a constant sort of storytelling process.

In human history who hold the reigns of political power, and there are some women who were very much a team player during their husband's oppressive regime.

Every man is valued in this world as he shows by his conduct that he wishes to be valued.

I can't do most things, if I'm honest, but cooking I definitely can't do.

I've always felt that I need to be somebody in the middle of the lineup that's going to drive in runs and come up with big hits.

It takes less than a decade for today's luxury to become a universal necessity.
