I laughed and said, Life is easy. What I meant was, Life is easy with you here, and when you leave, it will be hard again.

Nothing really mattered, and nothing could be lost.

I eat an egg every morning, and when I'm done, I almost always have the thought: There. Now even if I'm captured and starved, I'll be able to live off the protein of that egg for a while.

I wish there were a class where we could just keep going around the circle. around and around, until we had finally said everything about ourselves.

If you are sad, ask yourself why you are sad. Then pick up the phone and call someone and tell him the answer to the question. If you don't know anyone, call the operator and tell him. Most people don't know that the operator has to listen, it is a law. Also, the postman is not allowed to go inside your house, but you can talk to him on public property for up to four minutes or until he wants to go, whichever comes first.

I realize that we all think we might be terrible people. But we only reveal this before we ask someone to love us. It is a kind of undressing.

I think it's more interesting if you go all the way with the world you have, and really look at it, and push it to an even more extreme extreme.
