We all have to love you, and believe inyou, and think you are looking out for our best interests. But look at us, Momma, and really see us.

Love doesn't always come when you want it to. Sometimes it just happens, despite your will.

People make the rules of society, not God.

I don't think she's ever coming back.

I wish the night would end, I wish the day'd begin, I wish it would rain or snow, or the wind would blow, or the grass would grow, I wish I had yesterday, I wish there were games to play...

Grief, no matter how you try to cater to its wail, has a way of fading away.

Fool! Never wait on a man! Let him wait on himself!

Go on, glare your eyes at me, and cry and plead, and talk tome about money and what it can buy. But it can't buy back a child once he's dead!

We haven't remained idle, twiddling our thumbs while you were off having a good time. Through books Cathy and I have lived a zillion lives . . . our vicarious way to feel alive.

Look at you, standing there in your iron- gray dress, feeling piousand self- righteous while you starve small children!

Then turn your eyes back on me, and tell me that Cathy and I are still children to be treated with condescension, and are incapable of understanding adult subjects.

I have a RAGING SEA inside of me, trying to break free from ALL of me.

Possibly, there was something to be said for the intellectual discipline of second-guessing what you thought was true.

If it doesn’t make the world better, don’t do it.

The bird of truth would not be able to fly if it weren't for the air of lies we breathe.

Everything changes, nothing is lost.

Also, there are authors and publicists using the Internet to manipulate opinion, both positively for a work and negatively against the competition. I don't do this and can't stomach it, honestly.

On stage, I'm me. I'm a husband, I'm a dad, I'm a guy, I'm a mess - but I am a cohesive thing that you recognize as one human entity saying these things that he generally believes.

Maybe the older you grow and the less easy it is to put thought into action, maybe that’s why it gets all locked up in your head and becomes a burden.

You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions, and your intentions create your reality.
