Follow the lead of your symptoms, for there’s usually a myth in the mess, and a mess is an expression of soul.

All we can do when we think of kids today is think of more hours of school, earlier age at the computer, and curfews. Who would want to grow up in that world?

Anytime you’re gonna grow, you’re gonna lose something. You’re losing what you’re hanging onto to keep safe. You’re losing habits that you’re comfortable with, you’re losing familiarity.

What an idiot

It is a ship with a great deal of sail but a very shallow keel.

Viewed from the summit of reason, all life looks like a malignant disease and the world like a madhouse.

I feast on wine and bread, and feasts they are.
