I'm very interested in charities. I help a lot of different charities.
Cherish yesterday, Dream tomorrow, Live today.
Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
An easy life doesn't teach us anything. In the end it's the learning that matters: what we've learned and how we've grown
A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we're pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we're safe in our own paradise.
The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.
If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were.
I have a sort of a fetish for insects, clockwork, monsters, dark places, and unborn things
Patriotism is "a very definite feeling of preference for one's own people or State above all other peoples and States, and a consequent wish to get for that people or State the greatest advantages and power that can be got - things which are obtainable only at the expense of the advantages and power of other peoples or States. "
Be grateful for luck.
One of the manifestations of depression for me is that I lose my will. And I thereby lose my ability to focus. I don't think I'll ever have the day-to-day consistency in my performance that something like This American Life has. If I'm not depressed and I'm on and I can focus and I can think through something hard and without interruption and without existential emptiness that comes from depression, that gives me - not mania. But I exalt. I exalt in not being depressed.
