"Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most."
— Shel Silverstein

"If they keep crashing stuff into the moon, the moon's gonna get pissed off, and the tides'll change, and all the women'll start PMS-ing together. Then you guys are going to fucking regret it."

"Life is about moments. And any given moment is completely worth that moment. Life isn't all about keeping, not in the way we normally think about it. My problem was being unable to hold onto things and then just dwelling on the loss. I started to realize: that's how it works. You should at least respect the fact that it was there. Cherish that. Then you still have something; it isn't gone or meaningless. It may not be the wholly joyous thing you wanted, but it is something. And it's accumulative. That's what makes your life rich. I'd felt like my life was a succession of experiences that didn't add up - just cards reshuffled in a deck, or cards on a table moved around, flip one up, flip it back over, not finding a match. But that accumulative aspect - that's growing up. You learn something. It wasn't cheap, it wasn't forgotten."
— Adam Duritz

"I salute to you Commander
and I sneeze
'Cause I have Now
an Allergy
To your policies it seems

Where have we gone wrong America?
Mr. Lincoln we can't seem
to find you anywhere out of the millions
From the deserts
To the mountains
Over prairies
To the shores
Is this just the Madness of King George
Yo George
Is this just the Madness of King George
Yo George
Well you have the whole Nation
on all fours. "
— Tori Amos
