Some people are just born human, the rest of us, we take a lifetime to get there.

Our generation has had no Great Depression, no Great War. Our war is spiritual. Our depression is our lives.

The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person.

We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.

Worker bees can leave. Even drones can fly away. The Queen is their slave.

Did perpetual happiness in the Garden of Eden maybe get so boring that eating the apple was justified?

You know, the condom is the glass slipper of our generation. You slip it on when you meet a stranger. You dance all night, then you throw it away.

If you love something set it free, but don't be surprised if it comes back with herpes.

Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I've ever known.

The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close-up.

It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.

Are you willing to work for what you want?

Life is full of little ironies, but it's also pockmarked with some the size of that big rock in Australia.

I want to tell you that if the Great Spirit had chosen anyone to be the chief of this country, it is myself.

For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved.

If you are asking whether states and state actors can only respond through revenge, then you are suggesting that diplomatic solutions are hopeless.

Instead of asking for help, I just dig in and do everything myself.

I remember lying in the snow, a small red spot of warm going cold, surrounded by wolves.

So I became a newspaperman. I hated to do it but I couldnt find honest employment.

I wouldn't like to see a chick of mine taking her clothes off and kissing a fellow on screen. And my girls must get very hurt when they see me doing it.
