What are the odds that two separate writers, strangers, a thousand miles apart, would each invent fictions in which guys take girls to an esoteric frog lecture on their first date? If that isn't synchronicity, it's something equally as weird.

There is no such thing as a weird human being, It's just that some people require more understanding than others.

Never be afraid to make a fool of yourself. The furthest out you can go is the best place to be.

Never underestimate how much assistance, how much satisfaction, how much comfort, how much soul and transcendence there might be in a well-made taco and a cold bottle of beer.

Every individual has to assume responsibility for his or her own actions, even the poor and the young. A social system that decrees otherwise is inviting intellectual atrophy and spiritual stagnation.

There are two lost continents.... We are one: the lovers.

Death is simple. Life is messy. Give me life, the more complicated the better.
