People love to see you get ahead — so long as you don't get farther ahead than they are.

But not hurting people and knowing how to get along with people, ... they're different.

My one challenge with the support group that I'd become involved with on campus is that the people seem to spend as much time talking about their ill-begotten pasts as their promising futures. It's as if people are drawn to looking back. They can't move on until it all makes sense. Humbly submitted: It never does.

My belief in ghosts swings with the wind. But my belief that the cemetery felt happy and not sad-I've never changed my mind about that.

You gotta pay your dues to sing the blues.

You're supposed to be kind to everyone, because you never know when you're meeting an angel.

Nobody stopped believing that other people were more guilty than they were. Why do people have so much trouble seeing their own faults but such an easy time seeing everyone else's?
