Each life makes its own immitation of immortality.

A person who doesn't learn from the past is an idiot, in my estimation.

The good thing about being old, is you don’t have to worry about dying young.

there is no gain without risk, perhaps no risk without love.

I saw something even more beautiful than a sense of humor: an appreciation for life’s essential absurdity.

Now I think all of us were born with a hole in our hearts, and we go around looking for the person who can fill it. You... you fill me up.

Kids know they can't make it alone, yet at the same time, built into each one of us, is a survival ethic. It says, "Nobody cares and you have to look out for yourself and if you don't, you'll die." These two things work against each other. I think most kids are very frightened of their parents, and that's what all fairy tales reflect: Parents will fail you and you'll be left on your own. But, of course, everything comes out right in the end and the parents take you back.
