It's wonderful to travel with somebody that you love and we never travel anywhere without one another.
Just got back from a pleasure trip: I took my mother-in-law to the airport.
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
We travel some of us forever to seek other states other lives other souls.
Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry but by demonstrating that all peoples cry laugh eat worry and die it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other we may even become friends.
You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it.
We are so used to dissembling with others that in time we come to deceive and dissemble with ourselves.
To take a photograph is to participate in another person's mortality vulnerability mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it all photographs testify to time's relentless melt.
If you aren't good at loving yourself you will have a difficult time loving anyone since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself.
Seek always to do some good somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
My father wasn't around when I was a kid and I used to always say 'Why me? Why don't I have a father? Why isn't he around? Why did he leave my mother?' But as I got older I looked deeper and thought 'I don't know what my father was going through but if he was around all the time would I be who I am today?'
If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time then I'm neurotic as hell. I'll be flying back and forth between one mutually exclusive thing and another for the rest of my days.
We should not say that one man's hour is worth another man's hour but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything man is nothing: he is at the most time's carcass.
My two secrets to staying healthy: wash your hands all the time. And if you can't use Purell or one of the sanitizers. And the other is hot peppers. I eat a lot of hot peppers. I for some reason started doing that in 1992 and I swear by it.
It's time for the party of big ideas not the party of Big Brother!
Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.
No matter how busy you are you must take time to make the other person feel important.
Time is a sort of river of passing events and strong is its current no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place and this too will be swept away.
Consider the fellow. He never spends his time telling you about his previous night's date. You get the idea he has eyes only for you and wouldn't think of looking at another woman.
For a long time I was scared I'd find out I was like my mother.
I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set I go into the other room and read a book.
There is another old poet whose name I do not now remember who said 'Truth is the daughter of Time.'
People spend too much time finding other people to blame too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being and not enough energy putting themselves on the line growing out of the past and getting on with their lives.
Don't let that weapon technology proliferate. Don't let Saddam Hussein get capability for nuclear or chemical weapons because he's already shown a willingness to use any weapon at his disposal.
