We all need to look into the dark side of our nature - that's where the energy is, the passion. People are afraid of that because it holds pieces of us we're busy denying.

You can't make anyone love you and you can't stop anyone from dying.

The hard thing about death is that nothing ever changes. The hard thing about life is that nothing stays the same.

Ideas are easy. It's the execution of ideas that really separates the sheep from the goats.

In my opinion, there's no condition in life that can't be ameliorated by a dose of junk food.

So much of the past in encapsulated in the odds and ends. Most of us discard more information about ourselves than we ever care to preserve. Our recollection of the past is not simply distorted by our faulty perception of events remembered but skewed by those forgotten. The memory is like twin orbiting stars, one visible, one dark, the trajectory of what's evident forever affected by the gravity of what's concealed.
