A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.
Beware of looking for goals: look for a way of life. Decide how you want to live and then see what you can do to make a living WITHIN that way of life.

America... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.
On some nights, I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.

If you get people asking the wrong questions, you donÔÇÖt have to worry about the answers.
There is no such thing as paranoia. Your worst fears can come true at any moment.
I would feel real trapped in this life if I didnÔÇÖt know I could commit suicide at any time.
