It's four in the morning, the end of december I'm writing you now just to see if you're better.

There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.

We are not mad. We are human.We want to love, and someone must forgive us for the paths we take to love, for the paths are many and dark, and we are ardent and cruel in our journey.

I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin.

I greet you from the other side of sorrow and despair, with a love so vast and shattered it will reach you everywhere.

I wish I could say everything in one word. I hate all the things that can happen between the beginning of a sentence and the end.

We are so lightly here. It is in love that we are made. In love we disappear.

May you be surrounded by friends and family, and if this is not your lot, may the blessings find you in your solitude.

We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky.

You live your life as if it's real.......a thousand kisses deep

Reality is one of the possibilities I cannot afford to ignore

Hope is firm belief.

I also have to add that if Rembrandt had been given a camera then that guys understanding of light and form would have blown the rest of us shooters into a black hole of despair.

What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god.

On Monday mornings I am dedicated to the proposition that all men are created jerks.

Knowledge and imagination are the life buoy and the extra lung for breathing outside the walls of a tainted reality.

I joke sometimes that I live a protracted adolescence, that a part of me will always be twelve years old.

It may be that everything the life science companies are telling us will turn out to be right, and there's no problem here whatsoever. That defies logic.

Man who man would be, must rule the empire of himself.

We need to learn to treat our own brain better - understanding how it works will help us do that.

When things don't go well, it helps to think of yourself as a genius and the rest of the world as a bunch of idiots.
