As soon as I realized that I didn't need meat to survive or to be in good health, I began to see how forlorn it all is. If only we had a different mentality about the drama of the cowboy and the range and all the rest of it. It's a very romantic notion, an entrenched part of American culture, but I've seen, for example, pigs waiting to be slaughtered, and their hysteria and panic was something I shall never forget.

I've been so relieved and so grateful to not have a god to believe in.

Everything is so sad and so wonderful.

When something is truly funny, it's funny all the time.

Let whatever's going to happen, happen. Don't judge it before you do it. Sure, sometimes it will be terrible, but sometimes it will just be amazing. That's where the gold is.

Im having an amazing life and it isnt over yet.

For the love of God, will someone please punch me in the face so I can see some stars?
