...true love is an irrevocable act - you can only give your heart away once - after that, you give as much as you have left ...

...wherever there is society, there is authority and the temptation to disobedience because our individual wills refuse to submit...

...you think so logically...like a hawk soaring - I feel so chaotically...like a kite without a tail plummeting to earth...

...you fantasize about me reading my poems to you - it doesn't work that way - I write down everything later - living is not an after-thought...

Several people have told me that one of the most meaningful events they could attend would be something at the White House with their children.

If you saw that Yankee pitching too often, there would be a lot of guys doing different jobs.

Don't ask me who my favourite monster was because I'm sick of saying Tom Baker.

I really don't have to answer to nobody.

Unless and until you have developed a heart inundated with compassion, do not sit on the seat of judgement.
