#Room

"Everybody's damaged by something."

"When I first started doing these roasts in the mid '90s, they were a lost art, like jousting or calligraphy. But I feel like roasts help tame the room and let off steam... It's like it's all being handled by professionals."

"But it was not the room’s disorder which was frightening; it was the fact that when one began searching for the key to this disorder, one realized that it was not to be found in any of the usual places. For this was not a matter of habit or circumstance or temperament; it was a matter of punishment and grief."

"There is room in the smallest cottage for a happy loving pair."

"A fridge will keep your steaks fresh, but keeping a live cow in grandmother’s room will keep the meat fresher. Let this be a lesson in love."

"A room hung with pictures is a room hung with thoughts."

"I like to change. A new lamp, a piece of art, can transform a room."

"Silence is expansive, filling up a whole room in seconds, like a balloon filled with awkwardness. It’s amazing how saying nothing can be so different from having nothing to say."

"To respect a mystery is to make way for the answer."

"I don't think of myself as funny - I don't fill up a room with my humor... I would fail miserably as a stand-up comedian."
