Why is it I'm always so quick to believe that people are thinking...believing the worst about me?

It seems to me that a man who is incapable of humor is capable of cruelty.

And marking off time struck me as something like counting empty spaces—spaces you know can't ever be filled.

I was hooked on writing. I mean, where else can you get paid for sticking your nose into somebody else's business?

And taking care of somebody else made me feel good. Like discovering you're more than you thought you were. More even than you hoped to be.

I believe that love is better than hate. And that there is more nobility in building a chicken coop than in destroying a cathedral.

Like the Bible tells us, when a man will lay down his life for a friend, well, then there ain't no greater love in this here world than that.
