“I drive around the streets an inch away from weeping, ashamed of my sentimentality and possible love.“

“We’re all going to die, all of us. What a circus! That alone should make us love each other, but it doesn’t. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities. We are eaten up by nothing.”

“I want so much that is not here and I do not know where to go.”

“We don’t even ask for happiness, just for less pain.”

“When you left, you took almost everything. I kneel in the nights before tigers that will not let me be.”

“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can’t readily accept the God formula, the big answers don’t remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
