But he won’t let the pain blot out the humor no more’n he’ll... - Ken Kesey, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

"It's the truth, even if it didn't happen......if they don't exist, how can a man see them?"

"Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing."

"I don't seem able to get it straight in my mind...."

"The stars up close to the moon were pale; they got brighter and braver the farther they got out of the circle of light ruled by the giant moon"

"They can't tell so much about you if you got your eyes closed."
