Know what you love and do what you love. If you don't do what you love, you're just wasting your time.

When I see an entire community disenfranchised, it disturbs me. Not that I'm a message guy, per se. I write about people. I like to write about human beings, not crap political rhetoric. I've tried to avoid that all my life. When I wrote about soldiers in Vietnam, I wasn't trying to make a political statement. I was trying to write about how screwed things were for soldiers, and how they still are.

They say that these are not the best of times, but they're the only times I've ever known.

There are people who have lost every trace of human kindness.

Let me go on sleeping and I will lose myself in palaces of sand, and all the fantasies that I've been keeping will make the empty hours easier to stand.

You should never argue with a crazy mind, you ought to know my now.

You only beat me if you get me to hate.
