I know absolutely nothing about where I'm going. I'm fine with that. I'm happy about it. Before, I had nothing. I had no life, no friends, and no family really, and I didn't really care. I had nothing, and nothing to lose, and then I knew loss. What I cared about was gone; it was all lost. Now I have everything to gain; everything is a clean slate. It's all blank pages waiting to be written on. It's all about going forward. It's all about uncertainty and possibilities.

The doer alone learneth.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.

Hunter S. Thompson

We spend so much time creating a façade of what we want to project to the world, we almost forget what we ourselves are truly about in the process.

Jason R. Thrift

Lesbian humor isn't trying to sell anything, it doesn't have to sell out. Coming out as a lesbian onstage is still a very political act if it weren't, more women would do it.

Kate Clinton

You can hype a questionable product for a little while, but you'll never build an enduring business.

Victor Kiam

The people only understand what they can feel; the only orators that can affect them are those who move them.

Alphonse de Lamartine

I did the whole rock and roll thing that's coming up. I think you're going to enjoy that! 'Burt Rocks', it's called. I like that he's a dreamer I like how positive he is. There's a lot of things I think I can learn from Burt.

Garret Dillahunt

My life changed the day I moved beyond just wishing for things and I started earning them. That is the day I learned that we don't get what we wish for, we get what we work for.

Steve Maraboli

We sing a little song before we eat, a little blessing before we eat, and it's really - we're thanking the Lord and the Earth for the food that we eat, and it really brings you together in a profound kind of way.

Phil Lesh

I always thought of photography as a naughty thing to do -- that was one of my favorite things about it, and when I first did it, I felt very perverse.

Diane Arbus

It sometimes takes a state of solitude to bring to mind the real power of companionship.

Stephen Richards

My mom passed away at 41 from diabetes. And I'm 42, thank you. I didn't want to do that to my son. So any time I was at the gym, that thing that helped me do that last squat was my son calling some other woman mommy. And that would just give me that extra oomph to do that last squat. I want to be around for him.
