Criss Jami
I will never deny that life isn't fair. It seems as though when a woman leaves a man she is strong and independent, but when a man leaves a woman he is a pig and a jerk.
Criss Jami
A lack of common sense usually ends in some heroic feat, much like the soldier who dives onto the grenade so that others may live.
Criss Jami
A wise man's goal shouldn't be to say something profound, but to say something useful.
Criss Jami
The real test of love is loving those who we feel are the hardest ones to love.
Criss Jami
People love answers, but only as long as they are the ones who came up with them.
Criss Jami
I believe in evolution in the sense that a short-tempered man is the successor of a crybaby.
Criss Jami
As long as I am breathing, in my eyes, I am just beginning.
Criss Jami
Don't change your mind just because people are offended change your mind if you're wrong.
Criss Jami
Of course, in our train of thought, we would all like to think we're on the right track, or at least the same railroad company as the right track.
