There are special, strange gifted people in the world and they have to be treated with understanding

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.

Do you feel that? It is a calm shift in the wind. Do you hear that? It is a soft whisper of hope. Do you see that? It is the divine hand of guidance, mercifully extended to aid our good fight.

Hard to accept the end of a story that won the villain against heroes.

If we have any problems, it's always with the government of the United States.

Look at the blank pages before you with courage. Now fill them with beauty.

Image is powerful. But image is also superficial.

But it's also because of something personal. My mother and father met while playing chess, so I've always had a fondness for the game. If it weren't for chess, I might not be here.

The dead will always be dead, but we have to go on living.

I don’t like to quote myself but unfortunately everybody I know who should be quoting me is dead.

I love when people improvise as long as they're great improvisers, what I mean by that is people can improvise within their characters and within the scene.

I visualize the game. I think about who I am guarding, the things he likes to do.
