We don't really have a movie industry; we have a trailer industry. The movie guys make five minutes worth of stuff to get people in the theatre, and eighty-five minutes of filler.

We like to look for patterns and find connections in unrelated events. This way we can explain them to ourselves. Life seems neater, or at least less messy. We need to feel we are in control: it is integral to our self-esteem. We also know, though we deny it, that we are not in control. So we settle for the illusions of control. What if we stopped fooling ourselves?

We are all the same in that we all want to be different.

We have no control over fate and history, but we can control how we conduct ourselves in this life.

Yes, it's true that you can't learn everything from books. But you do learn something about everything.

One of the advantages of having an imaginary boyfriend is that he exists only for you, therefore he can not be stolen. The disadvantage is that you can not introduce him to your friends.

Beware of those who have never been bored, depressed, or angry. There is something seriously wrong with them.
