It’s in my interest, in ours perhaps, or maybe the interests of the greater good, for me to smoke a joint, and calm down.

On some days you get what you want, and on others, you get what you need.

Yesterday’s weirdness is tomorrow’s reason why.

Beware of looking for goals: look for a way of life. Decide how you want to live and then see what you can do to make a living WITHIN that way of life.

When a doctor does go wrong he is the first of criminals.

Criminals do not die by the hands of the law. They die by the hands of other men.
