Jump to the day we'll all be dead and none of this will matter. Jump to the day another house will stand here and the people living there won't know we ever happened.

All the effort in the world won't matter if you're not inspired.

Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can hurt like hell.

No matter how many luxuries you get, something will be missing. No matter how carefully you choose, you'll never be totally happy.

We're consumers. We are by-products of a lifestyle obsession. Murder, crime, poverty, these things don't concern me. What concerns me are celebrity magazines, television with 500 channels, some guy's name on my underwear. Rogaine, Viagra, Olestra...

Most times, it's just a lot easier not to let the world know what's wrong.

I write because it's a way of presenting something without having to be there.
