One thing that I've struggled with has been a certain amount of animosity toward the whole human race.

Humans are social creatures that really crave intimacy.

There's no real reason for me to be so obsessed with trying to understand the true nature of things. You can live a perfectly happy life being utterly confused and not knowing.

I do like talking with friends about big concepts, you know, the stuff that will ruin a party. To me, the party hasn't begun until we're talking about the nonexistence of God.

I tend to [have] a lot of ideas but then just leave them in that infant form and kind of move on.

I'm not really excited about the idea of committing to anything permanently.

I was a regular dork. I was a kid who was scrawny and all that, and probably kind of dumb or something. I wasn't unordinary; I wasn't extraordinary.

My dad and I get into it all the time. He loves to discuss politics much more than I do and we have pretty heated conversations.

I have no ethics when it comes to art. You just do what you can to make it as beautiful as you can.

I suppose, if someone was into baseball for an extended period of time during their formative years, they're always going to be interested in it.

I really [enjoy] working with new people and just sort of the freshness of it. ... I [want] to have those new conversations, musically and otherwise.

Without passion, the earth will be full of hollow bodies devoid of love, relationship, religion, art, science and technology

Leadership can mean defiance.

Make all good men your well-wishers and then in the years' steady sifting some of them will turn into friends.

I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned that this is not a dress rehearsal, and that today is the only guarantee you get.

Every moment gives birth to the next moment and influences it. Getting out of that chain of perpetual being is getting off the wheel of birth and death. That is enlightenment.

Alive without breath, As cold as death; Never thirsty, ever drinking, All in mail never clinking.

The last refuge of the insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world.

Wealth I desire to have; but wrongfully to get it, I do not wish.

Erin was right. Apologies could come too late.

There are good, God-fearing persons who still fall into certain faults, and it is better to bear with them than to be hard on them.
