Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

No Spring nor Summer beauty hath such grace As I have seen in one Autumnal face.

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent.

Death comes equally to us all, and makes us all equal when it comes.

Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime, nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.

Busy old fool, unruly Sun, why dost thou thus through windows and through curtains call on us? Must to thy motions lovers seasons run?

Twice or thrice had I loved thee before I knew thy face or name, so in a voice, so in a shapeless flame, angels affect us oft, and worshiped be.

What gnashing is not a comfort, what gnawing of the worm is not a tickling, what torment is not a marriage bed to this damnation, to be secluded eternally, eternally, eternally from the sight of God?

More than kisses, letters mingle souls.

When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.

ask not for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee

In a crisis, time was always the enemy.

I had a terrible fight with my wife on New Year's Eve. She called me a procrastinator. So I finished addressing the Christmas cards and left.

After you have wept and grieved for your physical losses, cherish the functions and the life you have left.

When I was losing, they called me nuts. When I was winning they called me eccentric.

If I wasn't talking, I wouldn't know what to say.

There's a lot of baggage that comes along with our family, but it's like Louis Vuitton baggage.

Every man has to know what they like, and what their goals are, before creating their own diet.

I would love to have a rapper on one of my songs, like Ludacris, or the 'it's so hot in here' guy, Nelly.

Age is wisdom if one has lived ones life properly.

I don't wanna be Courtney Love - I wanna be Kurt Cobain.
