"She laughed so easily when she was happy. But also when she was sad."

-- Janet Fitch

“Do you think you can love too much? Or experience too much beauty, at the cost of too much pain? Do you think when art is defined by expressing so much beauty and so much pain, just to be able to cope with both - and bring other people something creatively beautiful at the cost of that pain - that we can draw a line of 'normalcy'? It's important to think about.”
“While creating a social brand is a necessary endeavor, building a social business is an investment.”
“I couldn't imagine a more unreliable, more unprofitable way to make a living than writing. My advice? Show up, do the best you can. Keep your day job. If you get a lucky break, don't ***** up. It was helpful to be older because I had made all the really stupid mistakes already.”
“Yeah, the next Wu album should be out by late '95.”
“Love is more powerful, love gives life, love makes hope blossom in the wilderness.”
“Christianity has such a contemptible opinion of human nature that it does not believe a man can tell the truth unless frightened by a belief in god. No lower opinion of the human race has ever been expressed.”
“We shall suffer no attachment to literature, no taste for abstract discussion, no love of purely intellectual theories, to seduce us from our devotion to the cause of the oppressed, the down trodden, the insulted and injured masses of our fellow men.”
“I wasn't sued out of medicine, I wasn't arbitrated out of the profession.”
