"There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get outbut I'm too tough for him,I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you."

"There are truths which are not for all men, nor for all times."

"The stories people tell you about themselves seem to retain the possibility of being false. But what you discover about them by yourself seems to be the truth."

"And I guess I realized at that moment that I really did love her. Because there was nothing to gain, and that didn't matter."

"But just because you love something, I added to myself, doesn't mean you'll ever be great. Not if you don't work. Most people stink at the things they love."

"Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes."

"Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it."

"They're so broke that they've actually cut essential services. In many places, they've cut policemen, because, who the fuck needs them? Or firemen, son of a bitch, it's much more fun watching something burn down."

"The truth is always an abyss. One must — as in a swimming pool — dare to dive from the quivering springboard of trivial everyday experience and sink into the depths, in order to later rise again — laughing and fighting for breath — to the now doubly illuminated surface of things."

"Every decent con man knows that the simplest truth is more powerful than even the most elaborate lie."

"There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure truth."

"There's release in knowing the truth no matter how anguishing it is. You come finally to the irreducible thing, and there's nothing left to do but pick it up and hold it. Then, at last, you can enter the severe mercy of acceptance."

"If it ever occurs to people to value the honour of the mind equally with the honour of the body, we shall get a social revolution of a quite unparalleled sort."
