Faith in the face of disappointment is only enhanced by laughter in the face of pain.

As I became very conscious and more aware of things I got very into the beatniks and that kind of stuff. They were very important to me for a few years.

The worst thing about living in this world, in general, is that things get overwhelming, and things cause a tremendous amount of despair and anxiety.

I used to be jealous; I'm not jealous anymore. And a miracle happened to me, because if you're jealous, it's a cancer, it's a plague on your spirit, it really is. And I actually cured jealousy in a very weird way - I cured it with mathematics. And I'm not a math person at all, but I've been with my wife for about seven years, so we have had sex probably, I'd like to think, like, 9 million times or, at least, 1,500. So, the way I figured it, if she goes out and screws some other guy once - I'm still winning.

In most cases the only difference between depression and disappointment is your level of commitment.

I’m glad to be part of the war on sadness. I’m a part time employee of the illusion that keeps people stupid.

Maybe depression is the most reasonable response to all the crap around us. Maybe it's the happy people who need medication.
