“All of life is a foreign country.”

Something that you feel will find its own form.

The road must eventually lead to the whole world.

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved.

The fact that everybody in the world dreams every night ties all mankind together.

The only truth is music.

It’s okay, girl, we’ll make it till the sun goes down forever. And until then what you got to lose but the losing? We’re fallen angels who didn’t believe that nothing means nothing.

Suppose we suddenly wake up and see that what we thought to be this and that, ain’t this and that at all?

The closer you get to real matter, rock air fire and wood, boy, the more spiritual the world is.

The happiness consists in realizing that it is all a great strange dream.

I’m right there, swimming the river of hardships but I know how to swim.

A sociable smile is nothing but a mouth full of teeth.

Be in love with your life, every detail of it.

All I wanted to do was sneak out into the night and disappear somewhere, and go and find out what everybody was doing all over the country.

If you tell a true story, you can’t be wrong.

My life is a vast inconsequential epic.

I was surprised, as always, be how easy the act of leaving was, and how good it felt. The world was suddenly rich with possibility.

America is not a country, it’s a business.

America is a country founded on guns. It’s in our DNA. It’s very strange but I feel better having a gun. I really do. I don’t feel safe, I don’t feel the house is completely safe, if I don’t have one hidden somewhere. That’s my thinking, right or wrong.

Thank God we’re living in a country where the sky’s the limit, the stores are open late and you can shop in bed thanks to television.

My great grandfather, like many, came to this country in search of the American Dream.

The history of African-American repression in this country rose from government-sanctioned racism. Jim Crow laws were a product of bigoted state and local governments.

Mandela has played a crucial part in history. He’s done some extraordinary things, not only for his country but also for the whole world.

Since my return to America my Master, has at the desire of my friends in England given me my freedom.

But I have a conscience and a religious faith, and I know that our liberties were not won without suffering, and may be lost again through our cowardice. I intend to do my duty to my country.
