art men maturity
One thing is certain: the arts keep you alive. They stimulate, encourage, challenge, and, most of all, guarantee a future free from boredom. They allow growth and even demand it in that time of life we call maturity but too often enter it with a childish faith that what we learned in youth is sustenance enough for the years when most men are mentally famished but won't admit it—or when they are apt to curb their hunger with the sops of complacency, security, and the assurance of death.
men limits interest
A man who limits his interests limits his life.
squares peculiar balls
We may all be a peculiar lot...often broke, often dissatisfied because we're not doing more and better work...but we know how to have a ball that makes the rest of the world seem square.
running believe thinking
Right at this moment, I only want silence. I believe that the end of life is silence in the love people have for you. I've actually been running through what people have said about the end. Religion says that the end is one thing, because it serves their purpose. But great thinkers alike haven't always agreed. Shakespeare knew how to say it better than anyone else.

There's something fascinating about seeing something you don't like at first but directly know you will love—in time. People are that way, all through life.

There is nothing more soul-satisfying than the first succulent bite into the juicy frankfurter,
revenge fate men
I don't play monsters. I play men besieged by fate and out for revenge.
art excitement ifs
Art is excitement which if we can't create ourselves, we can at least, through love of it, make available to others.
art matter violent
In art, religion, and politics the respect must be mutual, no matter how violent the disagreement.
art laughter tears
If I could prescribe a single rule for looking at a work of art it would be to enjoy it. If we're honest with ourselves, we have to admit we enjoy our tears just as much as we enjoy our laughter. The only moments of life that are a bore are when we don't care one way or another.
kings children men
Man has ruled this world as a stumbling demented child king, long enough. And as his empire crumbles, my precious black widow shall rise as his most fitting successor.
fun halloween scare
It's as much fun to scare as to be scared.
budget
I've said before, and I'll say it again: we can do better. We must do better. And we would do better, if we made better budget choices.
