“Books are like truth serum-- if you don't read, you can't figure out what's real.”

“I'm not that deep, I'm not that mysterious. Don't try to figure me out. I'm a very open book. What you see is what you get.”

“But what's real? You can't find the truth. You just pick the lie you like best. As long as you know that everything's a lie, you can't hurt yourself.”

“Come on, come on
Don't leave me like this.
I thought I had you figured out.
Something's gone terribly wrong,
You're all I wanted.Come on, come on
Don't leave me like this.
I thought I had you figured out.
Can't breathe whenever your gone,
Can't turn back
Now I'm haunted.”

“Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say.”

“When you can't figure out what to do, it's time for a nap.”

“It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.”

“When was the last time you read a book? The truth now. And picture books don't count-I mean something with print in it.”

“Marilyn Monroe wasn't even her real name, Charles Manson isn't his real name, and now, I'm taking that to be my real name. But what's real? You can't find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best.”

“Take a book, the poorest one written, but read it with the passion that it is the only book you will read-ultimately you will read everything out of it, that is, as much as there was in yourself, and you could never get more out of reading, even if you read the best of books.”
