Fix your eyes forward on what you can do, not back on what you cannot change.

There are people in government who don't want other people to know what they know. It's just another example of elitism. And I spit on elitism. Show me an elitist, and I'll show you a loser.

Helicopters don't fly, they vibrate so badly the ground rejects them.

There's nothing wrong with having a tree as a friend.

Familiar life, tending to sordidness, had been succeeded by remote life, generally idealized; historical detail had been brought in to teach readers who were being entertained.

I never regret anything and I don't believe in regret. I think it's just a big time-waster.

When you get your,'Who am I?', question right, all of your,'What should I do?' questions tend to take care of themselves
