My regret was immediate and permanent and useless.

Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin.

Amsterdam is like the rings of a tree: It gets older as you get closer to the center.

I feel like crying, so I must be crying, but it's impossible to tell because I'm underwater.

...And in freedom, most people find sin.

So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.

My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.

The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive.

All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm.

I would always love Alaska Young, my crooked neighbor, with all my crooked heart.

I love thinking, I love coming up with great ideas. I just get excited. Sometimes if I get a big idea, I'm just like a kid, like I've found a new toy.

He who is in love with himself has at least this advantage - he won't encounter many rivals.

If you're a manager you can't get frustrated and be emotional. You have to continue to steer the ship, you can't let go of the wheel because who knows where it will go then.

Grace is openness. By remaining open, you let go of your ego and narrow-minded views, and allow divine grace to express itself through you.

Be the captain of your ship. Breathe and be grateful.

My wife is a real Puritan. She thinks licking the stamp on the envelope of a Valentine is foreplay.

Satan will try to use our memory of any previous guilt to lure us back...We must be ever vigilant to avoid his enticements

Intelligence reports say Castro is very worried about me. I'm very worried that we can't come up with something to justify his worrying.
