“An answer is invariably the parent of a whole family of new questions.”
“Can't you see that I'm only advising you to beg yourself not to be so dumb”
“I'm having a great time. It's like I'm on some ridiculous big roller coaster not knowing what's happening next, but just having a great time on the ride.”

“There's good in everybody. Boost. Don't knock.”
“Most people are sensitized to animals through their cats and dogs, but for me it was a flounder. I used to go fishing with my dad as a kid and always felt bad about yanking these panic-stricken creatures from the water. I stopped eating fish as an adolescent and went vegan at twenty.”
