I want history to jump on Canada's spine with sharp skates.

There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.

We are not mad. We are human.We want to love, and someone must forgive us for the paths we take to love, for the paths are many and dark, and we are ardent and cruel in our journey.

I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin.

I greet you from the other side of sorrow and despair, with a love so vast and shattered it will reach you everywhere.

I wish I could say everything in one word. I hate all the things that can happen between the beginning of a sentence and the end.

We are so lightly here. It is in love that we are made. In love we disappear.

May you be surrounded by friends and family, and if this is not your lot, may the blessings find you in your solitude.

We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky.

You live your life as if it's real.......a thousand kisses deep

Reality is one of the possibilities I cannot afford to ignore

I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry.

I really feel strongly that we can make change for every person. And it will be radical in the person's life.

An enemy will train us in watchfulness; for if he be wary to seize on every error and trip us, we shall be more heedful to expose nothing, and this will drive us to prudence and thoughtfulness.

There are certain things that make me relax, like writing my journal. That's the only time that I'm relaxing. It's the only time I really get to examine myself.

I like the old '90s music.

The American empire will not disappear... because America does not have an empire.

The pen is the tongue of the soul; as are the thoughts engendered there, so will be the things written.

In Japan people drive on the left. In China people drive on the right. In Vietnam it doesn't matter.

You can never underestimate the stupidity of the general public.

You have to be vigilant about keeping your own fire alive.
