Indecision may or may not be my problem.
-
My head hurts, my feet stink, and I don't love Jesus. It's that kind of morning.
-
Well, I'm still here. Didn't have to go to rehab, and I'm not broke.
-
Places I've lived since then had to have some kind of uniqueness and character about them. And logically Key West, and then Down Island. So, all of that stuff sort of had it's roots in New Orleans and went crazy.
-
Barmaid, bring a pitcher, another round of brew. Honey, why don't we get drunk and screw?
-
Is it ignorance or apathy, I forget the lessons taught to me.
-
Any attempts at autobiography before the age of eighty seem pretty self-involved to me. There are a lot of smart middle aged people but not many wise ones.
-
I hate to mention age, but I come from an era when we weren't consumed by technology and television. My mother insisted that her children read. To describe my scarce leisure time in today's terms, I always default to reading.
-
It takes no more time to see the good side of life than to see the bad.
-
Never did I think that I became family entertainment.
-
The right combination of guilt and machismo has sent many a fool out into the jungle when he should have stayed home.
-
Searching is half the fun: life is much more manageable when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party.

Our children may save us if they are taught to care properly for the planet; but if not, it may be back to the Ice Age or the caves from where we first emerged. Then we'll have to view the universe above from a cold, dark place. No more jet skis, nuclear weapons, plastic crap, broken pay phones, drugs, cars, waffle irons, or television. Come to think of it, that might not be a bad idea.
-
The beautiful people in the magazines, got the normal ones living beyond their means.
-
I was hungry and went out for a bite, ran into a chum with a bottle of rum and we wound up drinking all night.
-
Nobody else cares about you at the beginning of your career except you-and, of course, your mother. Your mother is there because that is what mothers do.
-
I slowly surrender to the child in me who can't say goodbye.
-
I'm growing older, but not up.
-
We made it nearly 20 centuries, a bunch of monkeys with PH Ds.
-
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call. Wanted to sail upon your waters, since I was three feet tall. You've seen it all, you've seen it all. Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam. In your belly, you hold the treasure that few have ever seen, most of them dreams, most of them dreams.
-
Pack your bags, we're going on a guilt trip!
-
The wino and I know the pain of back bustin'.
-
That to me is the way any good romantic would look at his life: Live it first, then write it down before you go.
-
I'd rather die while I'm living then live while I'm dead.
