"I feel bad that I don't feel worse."

-- Michael Frayn

“I want you to put more life into your dying.”
“Itâ€™s the spirit here that counts. The time may be long, the vehicle may be strange or unexpected. But if the dream is held close to the heart, and imagination is applied to what there is close at hand, everything is still possible.”
“Physical exercise makes you more graceful. After some gymnasitics you walk as if the whole street is yours.”
“The early Church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.”
“Your task as a leader is to help others to succeed, not to strive only for your own success. If I don't trust your motives, nothing else will matter -because my primary concern is your integrity.”
“I have watched Brock Lesnar for a really long time and I thought I knew how strong he was, I thought I knew how fast he was. Being in the ring with him, he is a completely different animal. He is a beast. They call him the Beast Incarnate and that is real. Whether you are in the Octagon with him trading fists, or in the ring trading German suplexes it is on another level. It was a pleasure and I am glad I got to be in the ring with him and i think I proved to the entire world I can hang with the guy.”
“I have no desires, save the desire to express myself in defiance of all the worldâ€™s muteness.”

“I had my first real kiss at Magic Mountain on a park bench. Not the most romantic thing ever.”
