If you don't own a dog, at least one, there is not necessarily anything wrong with you, but there may be something wrong with your life.

The beauty of my journey is that it's always been pretty unpredictable, so stay tuned.

I think my love of journalizing my life comes from my mom.

Jeff Bridges

Happiness is a risk. If you're not a little scared, then you're not doing it right.

Sarah Addison Allen

Poetry seems to sink into us the way prose doesn't. I can still quote verses I learned when I was very young, but I have trouble remembering one line of a novel I just finished reading.

Jack Prelutsky

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.

Jim Morrison

Old age adds to the respect due to virtue, but it takes nothing from the contempt inspired by vice it whitens only the hair.

Ira Gershwin

I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up at sometimes. I don't drink anymore but my alcoholic head occasionally says different. 'Nil By Mouth' was a love letter to my father because I needed to resolve some issues in order to be able to forgive him.

Gary Oldman

There is no work, however vile or sordid, that does not glisten before God.

John Calvin

I have been given the authority over you, and I am not the best of you. If I do well, help me; and if I do wrong, set me right. Sincere regard for truth.

Abu Bakr

I'm thankful for the three ounce Ziploc bag, so that I have somewhere to put my savings.

Paula Poundstone

Was it always in my nature to take a bad time and block out the good times, until any success becomes an accident and failure seemed the only truth?

Lillian Hellman

If the story is good enough, if it's imaginative enough, if it's moving enough it is going to reach deeper than the level of sheer information and change somebody's life two degrees. That is an enormous achievement.
