First thought; Best thought

“I’m caught between trying to live my life, and trying to run from it.”

I don’t care if it’s a sad good-bye or a bad good-bye, but when I leave a place I like to know I’m leaving it.

“I felt so lonesome, all of a sudden. I almost wished I was dead.”

“Some people are nobody’s enemies but their own.”

Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You’re by no means alone on that score, you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry.

I don’t think there is any truth. There are only points of view.

Find what you love and let it kill you.

Why didn’t I learn to treat everything like it was the last time. My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future.
