It was better to be in chains with friends than in a garden with strangers. [An ancient Persian proverb.] So true, huh?

I used to think it's better if you just live and die and no one knows who you are.

All these people that I used to know, they're an illusion to me now. Some are mathematicians, some are carpenters' wives.

There are things I could say. But I don't.

Ain't nothing too discreet about the disease of conceit.

Masters of the bluff and masters of the proposition, but the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency.
