“When someone was willing to drown with me, I really didn’t want to drown anymore.”

The seeds of who I am now had been planted. Fools aren’t born, I wrote in my notebook one day during ethics class. They are watered and grown like weeds by institutions such as Christianity.

Whatever doesn’t kill you, it’s gonna leave a scar.

Most of the world’s problems could be avoided if people just said what they fucking meant.

Not only are love and hate such closely related emotions, but it’s a lot easier to hate someone you’ve cared about than someone you never have.

I was becoming the cold, emotionally crippled monster I always wanted to be, and I wasn’t so sure I liked it. But it was too late. The metamorphosis was already well under way.

Hello world and hello universe. Thank you all very much.

I never said to be like me, I say be yourself and make a difference.

Art should never be an answer but a question.

In the end we’re all Jerry Springer guests, really, we just haven’t been on the show,

I remember growing up, saying you’re an artist it sounds pretentious but now it’s one of the only dignified things that you can call yourself.

The mind is the greatest bomb.

Everybody has a light and a dark side, and neither can exist without the other.

Anyone I may have used should feel happy that they even had a use. It’s better than being useless.

Deep down, most adults hate people who go against the grain.

Find what you are afraid of, face it, and then you won’t be afraid of it anymore.

I’ve always believed that a person is smart. It’s people that are stupid.

Men are Moved by two levers only: fear and self interest.

And the more you build your will by doing hard things, the stronger your will becomes.

And there’s grace in being willing to know and hear others. This, for me, is how we become.

Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities.

I’m into the food in Vegas. I’m willing to go to nice restaurants for sushi and stuff like that.

I have never thought, for my part, that man’s freedom consists in his being able to do whatever he wills, but that he should not, by any human power, be forced to do what is against his will.

Don’t try to plan for every contingency. Doing so will only overburden you and weigh you down so that you cannot quickly maneuver.

The honour of the woman is not made even to depend on her will.
