Loneliness, insomnia, and change: the fear of these is even worse than the reality.

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

It's the most unhappy people who most fear change.

A hypochondriac is one who has a pill for everything except what ails him.

It's innocence when it charms us, ignorance when it doesn't.

The head never rules the heart, but just becomes its partner in crime.

We lavish on animals the love we are afraid to show to people. They might not return it; or worse, they might.

In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.

We choose those we like; with those we love, we have no say in the matter.

They threaten me with lung cancer, and still I smoke and smoke. If they'd only threaten me with hard work, I might stop.

Pity all newlyweds. She cooks something nice for him, and he brings her flowers, and they kiss and think: How easy marriage is.

When you are eager to serve the world, the universe will be eager to serve you.

We live in a society where interacting with government agents is apotentially hazardous activity

I like stories where women save themselves.

Nobody understands me, I'm really sensitive.

How else would God speak to me, if not through my imagination?

Conservatism leads nowhere; it satisfies no ideal.

My position is this. If we can't protect sanctuaries, if we can't save the whales, the sharks, the fish, our oceans will die.

It was a rivalry-revenge game for us. They beat us very badly on our field last year.
