In the end, what you do isn't going to be nearly as interesting or important as who you do it with.

Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin.

Amsterdam is like the rings of a tree: It gets older as you get closer to the center.

I feel like crying, so I must be crying, but it's impossible to tell because I'm underwater.

...And in freedom, most people find sin.

So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.

A taste so profound and complex that it can't even be compared to other tastes, only to emotions. Cheesy waffles, I was thinking, tastes like love without the fear of love's dissolution.

My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.

The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive.

All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm.

I would always love Alaska Young, my crooked neighbor, with all my crooked heart.

It's time you stop thinking that because you did something, it's... amazing. All you've got to do is say, 'OK. If I'm great, what do they call Steve Jobs?'

I gave myself a mental shake. Snapping out of a slump, that was what today was all about.

It is almost always the cover-up rather than the event that causes trouble.

I say to you that the price of liberty is and always has been blood - human blood.

... but a dream is nothing more than reality shorn of cynicism.

I don't have anything else to prove.

I believe in the Golden Rule - The Man with the Gold... Rules.

You pick me up and brush me off and tell me I'm okay, sometimes that's just what we need to get us through the day.

Learn to run when feeling the pain, then push harder.
