I love this idea of the body as a trauma archive!

Every once in a while when I get a migraine, I like to think, "Who hates me today?"

You know you're screwed when a Western doctor recommends acupuncture.

I think what can be most shameful or embarrassing is when our bodies broadcast a secret we'd prefer no one to know. This is why I hate rashes, in particular face rashes.

We want to believe we couldn't be replaced, and that the people we love are irreplaceable.

No matter what you wear, not everyone is going to understand what you're saying.

I surround myself with women who inspire me to be more ambitious, and who constantly astonish me with their magnetism, style, and smarts.

I wouldn't be myself if I weren't always trying to be someone else. I only have so much time on this earth and I want to be as many people as possible.

I spend far too much time on eBay buying lamps and upholstery remnants.

I've subsequently become conscious of MAKING MEMORIES. Which makes me sound like a scrapbooker.

I am simply looking for a companion with whom to spend my days, a companion who will cherish as much as I the stupidity of living in the moment, and spend every dull, amazing second with me.

Everything comes out of smoke and mist and nothingness, a mystical happening…

Nothing is easier than self-deceit.

The art of politics is learning to walk with your back to the wall, your elbows high, and a smile on your face. It's a survival game played under the glare of lights.

As soon as you go into any biological process in any real detail, you discover it's open-ended in terms of what needs to be found out about it.

Stop hoping, start believing.

Anticipation! It occurred to him that his anticipation was more pleasant to him than the experiencing.

Setting goals is the first important step in achieving success in an activity. It's a reminder of what you are working towards.

Love is essential, gregariousness is optional.

The greatest service which can be rendered any country is to add a useful plant to its culture. --The Fruit Hunters

We all possess, like it or not, the people we know, and are possessed by them in turn.
