Life is so uncertain: you never know what could happen. One way to deal with that is to keep your pajamas washed.

Mediocrity's like a spot on a shirt—it never comes off.

You have to wait until tomorrow to find out what tomorrow will bring.

Let me tell you something, Mari. The ground we stand on looks solid enough, but if something happens it can drop right out from under you. And once that happens, you've had it: things'll never be the same. All you can do is go on, living alone down there in the darkness.

I’m just kinda tired. Like a monkey in the rain.

Nothing so consumes a person as meaningless exertion

You're afraid of imagination and even more afraid of dreams. Afraid of the resposibility that begins in dreams. But you have to sleep and dreams are a part of sleep. When you're awake you can suppress imagination but you can't supress dreams.
