Don't write about your most emotionally charged moment as a learning thing.

The same way a compact disk isn't responsible for what's recorded on it, that's how we are. You're about as free to act as a programmed computer. You're about as one-of-a-kind as a dollar bill.

Everything is a self-portrait. A diary. Your whole drug history’s in a strand of your hair. Your fingernails. The forensic details. The lining of your stomach is a document. The calluses on your hand tell all your secrets. Your teeth give you away. Your accent. The wrinkles around your mouth and eyes. Everything you do shows your hand.

In the end, it's never what you worry about that gets you.

At this rate, we'll never get to the future.

When you're thinking about the rest of your life, you're never really thinking more than a couple years down the road.

You know how they say you only hurt the ones you love? Well, it works both ways.
