I wish people were more like animals. Animals don't try to change you or make you fit in. They just enjoy the pleasure of your company. Animals aren't conditional about friendships. Animals like you just the way you are. They listen to your problems, they comfort you when you're sad, and all they ask in return is a little kindness.

Some people are pragmatists, taking things as they come and making the best of the choices available. Some people are idealists, standing for principle and refusing to compromise. And some people just act on any whim that enters their heads. I pragmatically turn my whims into principles.

Reading goes faster if you don't sweat comprehension.

Even if lives did hang in the balance, it would depend on whose they were.

Every time I've built character, I've regretted it.

I suppose if we couldn't laugh at things that don't make sense, we couldn't react to a lot of life.

To invent your own life's meaning is not easy, but it's still allowed, and I think you'll be happier for the trouble.
