When you die of sorrow it's as if you've broken all the bones in your body, bruised yourself all over, cracked your skull. That's sorrow.

There's no place on earth with more dumb girls per square foot than a college in California.

When you die of sorrow it's as if you've broken all the bones in your body, bruised yourself all over, cracked your skull. That's sorrow.

If you're going to say what you want to say, you're going to hear what you don't want to hear.

We never stop reading, although every book comes to an end, just as we never stop living, although death is certain.

Only in chaos are we conceivable.
