And I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.

Despite everybody who has been born and has died, the world has just gone on. I mean, look at Napoleon – but we went right on. Look at Harpo Marx –the world went around, it didn’t stop for a second. It’s sad but true. John Kennedy, right?

Well, I don’t know, but I’ve been told the streets in heaven are lined with gold. I ask you how things could get much worse if the Russians happen to get up there first; Wowee! pretty scary!

She opened up a book of poems and handed it to me written by an Italian poet from the 13th century and every one of them words rang true and glowed like burning coal pouring off of every page like it was written in my soul from me to you.

In ceremonies of the horsemen, even the pawn must hold a grudge.

I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.

All this is only for the mice and myself to admire!

Old guys can still do fun things.

If your parents never had children, chances are you won’t, either.

To me, you’ll always be the rising suns, the sinking moons, and all the stars that come between the sound of rain and river stones, the warmth of my sheets, the ache in my bones.

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life. (The conviction of the rich that the poor are happier is no more foolish than the conviction of the poor that the rich are.)

The most closely organized groups and movements in the world are those which have been the least friendly to the people’s progress and liberty.

To cease smoking is the easiest thing I ever did; I ought to know because I’ve done it a thousand times.

What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.
