Nothing else loves me, or ever will. Not even - especially - me. I know what I am and that is not a thing to love.

I know family comes first, but shouldn't that mean after breakfast?

I don't know if you have noticed this, but it is quite possible for two human beings to have a conversation in which one or both parties involved has absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

No big deal. We all have blood in us, the trick is keeping it inside.

Nothing in life is fair. Fair is a dirty word and I'll thank you not to use that language around me.

Life's only obligation, afterall, was to be interesting.

I often find myself in situations where it seems to me like everyone else has read the instruction book

But as I have noticed on more than one occaision, life itself is unfair, and there is no complaint department, so we might as well accept things the way they happen, clean up the mess, and move on.

And I was having too much fun to stop now.

you can’t use logic on human behavior.

Our universe is ruled by random whim, inhabited by people who laugh at logic.

Sometimes the wisdom of the elderly is equivalent to that of a child.

Judgement immobilizes, only hopeful love leaves an opening for God's alternative future.

In the end, the world returns to a grain.

Sometimes violence cannot be stopped no matter what we do. But the more peaceful we are, the better chance we have of bringing out the peace in those around us.

We [artists] aren't people, not the way most people are. We're just...carriers. Little boats bringing goods from foreign lands.

Ideas will be the major source of new wealth.

Someone will always be looking at you as an example of how to behave. Don't let him down.

Never let a boy know you're crazy about him. He'll lose interest, and then you'll be a loser.

I don't think anyone would think that an ellipsis represents doubt or anything. I think it's more, you know, hinting at the future. What lies ahead.

I have redefined the so-called East-West relationship as essentially one of conflict, while it had previously been treated in romantic terms.
