This life is but the childhood of our immortality.

I knew every raindrop by its name.

All these weirdos, and me getting a little better every day right in the midst of them. I had never known, never even imagined for a heartbeat, that there might be a place for people like us.

The first kiss plummeted him down a hole and popped him out into a world he thought he could get along in—as if he’d been pulling hard the wrong way and was now turned around headed downstream.

I didnt finish the stories until we went to the Philippines and I got malaria. I couldnt work and I didnt have any money, but I had seven stories. So I wrote three or four more.

I am going to hold serve the majority of the time. It is nice to have a little time to return serve.

It's kinda cool seeing people having real fights with people they really know.

Apple is to the United States government what Clarence Thomas was to the civil rights coalition. How dare you get this big sidestepping us.

I've tried to do everything possible to prepare myself and prepare our football team to be great.

Words slip into a language the way white-green vines slide between slats in a fence.
