May we dedicate our lives to serving the Lord and not worry about offending the devil.
We don't go anywhere. Going somewhere is for squares. We just go!
Only the one who walks his own way can't be overtaken.
Regret is useless in life. It's in the past. All we have is now.
Acting, in general, is something most people think they're incapable of, but they do it from morning to night. The subtlest acting I've ever seen is by ordinary people trying to show they feel something they don't, or trying to hide something. It's something everyone learns at an early age.
Never surrender to the momentum of mediocrity.
People will like you who never met you, they think you're absolutely wonderful; and then people also will hate you, for reasons that have nothing to do with any real experience with you. People don't want to lose their enemies. We have favorite enemies, people we love to hate and we hate to love. If they do something good, we don't like it. I found myself doing that with Ronald Reagan. He is anathema to me. If he does something that's reasonable, I find my mind trying to find some way to interpret it so that it's not reasonable, so that somewhere it's jingoist extremism.
Maybe the life I think I'm living is a paranoid delusion. . . Sanity is a valuable possession; I hoard it the way people once hoarded money. I save it, so I will have enough, when the time comes.
The severest test of work today, is not of our strategies, but of our imaginations and identities.
The eye takes a person into the world. The ear brings the world into a human being.
The real truth of life is on the streets. Photograph the daily lives of people, and how they exist, and how they fight for space and time and pleasure.
