I've killed enough of the world's trees.

Dead fields under a November sky, scattered rose petals brown and turning up at the edges, empty pools scummed with algae, rot, decomposition, dust.

I love music, and I can play a little. But anyone can see the difference between someone who's talented and someone that's not.

Every liberal in the country must watch Fox News for one year, and every conservative in the country must watch MSNBC for one year. (Middle-of-the-roaders could stick with CSI)

Your job isn't to find these ideas but to recognize them when they show up.

Give me just enough information so that I can lie convincingly.

If I can get it down on paper without puking all over the word processor, then as far as I'm concerned, it's fit to see the light of day.
