Nothing endures. Not a tree. Not love. Not even death by violence.

I began to know that each morning reasserted the problems of night before, that sleep suspended all but changed nothing, that you couldn’t make yourself over between dawn and dusk.

There was no harm in taking aim, even if the target was a dream.

I felt that I was not, never had been and never would be a living part of this overpoweringly solid and deeply meaningful world around me.

It seemed clear that wars were not made by generations and their special stupidities, but that wars were made instead by something ignorant in the human heart

What I mean is, I love winter, and when you really love something, then it loves you back, in whatever way it has to love.

As I said, this was my sarcastic summer. It was only long after that I recognized sarcasm as the protest of people who are weak.

But something held me back. Perhaps I was stopped by that level of feeling, deeper than thought, which contains the truth.

Sarcasm is the protest of the weak.

Peace is indivisible, and the surrounding world confusion found no reflection inside me.

We are all born equally far from the sun.

There are times when the unseen can be even more dangerous than what our eyes behold.

Memories are small prayers to God, if we believed in that sort of thing.

Horror movies, man, the blood entails so much time. And horror movies are not fun; definitely not starting there as a director. Definitely not horror.

A premium in the oil price of somewhere between 10 to 15 dollars a barrel reflects this heightened anxiety.

I believe the best definition of man is the ungrateful biped.

I love European movies and I kind of grew up on European films.

My musical sensibilities were formed around punk rock, that quintessential dilution of an art that's both ugly and lovely at the same time.

Being able to play a role where you're there almost every day and you're just in it... I remember it was a whirlwind, but it was a lot of fun.

My eyes make pictures when they are shut.

Hopefully I'll be able to mature one of these days, get serious, and at least have them [kids] pretty fast.
