Mr. Watson , come here, I want you

A lot of people do have tragic childhoods. But you know what? Get over it.

Nothing’s funnier to me than laughing at myself.

Most conversations are simply monologues delivered in the presence of witnesses.

Willpower is a myth. The problem with trying to use willpower to achieve and sustain a behavioral change is that it is fueled by emotion. And as we all know, our emotions are, at best, fickle. They come and go. When your emotions start running down — and they will — even your best-laid plans will fall flat.

What a guy, what a fool am I, to think my breaking heart could kid the moon.

There are no limitations to any of our dreams.

Very jaded and tired and depressed and cross…Must fill my mind with air and light, and walk and blanket it in fog.

I only ask to be free, the butterflies are free.

The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance.
