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.

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

Every hundred feet the world changes

Only in chaos are we conceivable.

Reading is like thinking, like praying, like talking to a friend, like expressing your ideas, like listening to other people's ideas, like listening to music, like looking at the view, like taking a walk on the beach.

So everything lets us down, including curiosity and honesty and what we love best. Yes, said the voice, but cheer up, it's fun in the end.
