"Kids own nothing. Everything is either promised, borrowed, longed for or exaggerated."

Jonathan Carroll

“You don't need a marriage license to live with someone, to have the security of a home, to rear any number of children, to have years of companionship; it's not illegal, but the moment you want to screw somebody, you have to get a license from the state to use your genital organs -or run the risk of being charged with any number of crimes carrying sentences up to and including death. So sex is really the only sensible reason for getting married.”
“We can only choose whether we will feel and not what we will feel.”

“Too many start up business fail simply because their owners continue to think and act like employees.”
“You always go in with the intention of playing your best and knowing the material you're auditioning.”
“Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire.”

“One does not really feel much grief at other people's sorrows; one tries, and puts on a melancholy face, thinking oneself brutal for not caring more; but one cannot and it is better, for if one grieved too deeply at other people's tears, life would be unendurable; and every man has sufficient sorrows of his own without taking to heart his neighbour's.”
“We are sorry for the inconvenience, but this is a revolution.”
“The men who abandon themselves to the passions of this miserable life, are compared in Scripture to beasts.”
