Don't like small talk, love rainy days.

I grew up in a dysfunctional family.

My life was a mystery even as I lived it.

Although I was raised Jewish, my upbringing didn't include any formal religious education or training.

To me, at forty-four years old, my book was a search for truth and identity.

Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing.

Nothing is often a good thing to do and always a good thing to say.

The peasants of all lands recognize power and they salute it, whether it's good or evil.

I'm grateful for a lot of things. One is not being a drunk wreck. Or losing all four limbs in some ridiculous East Village bus accident that I was so destined for.

You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

Let no one turn you down because you are young.

I am rarely happier than when spending an entire day programming my computer.

That is my theory to explain the I don't knows. It's human.

As long as we live beyond our means, we are destined to live beneath our means.
