It seemed silly to wash one day when I would only have to wash again the next. It made me tired just to think of it.

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.

Keep your opinion to yourself unless it’s asked for.

I trust Jesus with all my tomorrows, knowing that He will solve the mystery of life beyond the grave.

Though Jesus was in torture on the cross, He thought of praying for His persecutors, of caring for His mother, of securing the good thief's salvation.

She swore she'd never turn into her P.I. father...but that was before she ran over the body.

Our challenge for the future is that we realize we are very much a part of the earth's ecosystem, and we must learn to respect and live according to the basic biological laws of nature.

I think about trust and confidence as something that you earn every day, and we will keep at it, earning it every day.

The sun is nice but it lights things up so much that you can't see very far... The night time is better. It stretches your soul to the stars.

If from society we learn to live, solitude should teach us how to die.

Look after your people.

If anyone did any harm to my children, I don't know what I would do.
