"I don't have dry seasons, because I don't allow them."

-- Thomas Perry

“When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.”
“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon,for each day to have a new and different sun.”
“A man cannot make him laugh - but that's no marvel; he drinks no wine.”
“It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, â€œPeace! Peace!â€ â€” but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”

“The child was diseased at birth, stricken with a hereditary ill that only the most vital men are able to shake off. I mean poverty-the most deadly and prevalent of all diseases.”
“Fences and borders are a sign of weakness.”

“I think sometimes when people start doing improv there's some regression towards trying to replicate the "good" improvisers that they've read about in their improv books or heard about from their teachers. That's understandable, because they're trying to learn technique and stuff, but I actually think that my favorite performers are ones who have unique improv technique but also have a unique point of view that you can feel with them and their performances.”
“My job is â€” I make socks. Thatâ€™s all I do. I donâ€™t necessarily care about theÂ show. I would rather film this â€” me doing what I do â€” than being around my family.”
