I don't think you understand what a job really is when you're a teenager.

I really don't look at my life as being an accomplishment. I'm just very thankful for what I've been given.

That they dared make a town of this wet and sucking thing that vied with my foot for my boot at every step bespoke the glorious and yearning bullshit of men's souls.

Connection and connectedness are other words for community and communion.

The most serious failure of leadership is the failure to foresee

But miserable most, to love unloved? This you should pity rather than despise
