Nothing is as boring as other people's dreams.

This is it. I can't even not smoke anymore

You could hear the wind in the leaves, and on that wind traveled the screams of the kids on the playground in the distance, the little kids figuring out how to be alive, how to navigate a world that was not built for them by navigating a playground that was. . . Who am I to say that these things might not be forever? Who is Pete Van Houten to assert as fact the conjecture that our labor is temporary? All I know of heaven and all I know of death is in this park: an elegant universe in ceaseless motion, teeming with ruined ruins and screaming children.

The human tongue is like wasabi: it's very powerful, and should be used sparingly.

Destiny is not something that happens all at once-it's something that happens only in retrospect.

You realize that trying to keep your distance from me will not lessen my affection for you. All efforts to save me from you will fail.

The Degree to which I am blessed staggers me... the degree to which I take that for granted shames me. -Streetwalking with Jesus
