“It's a lie in the end, you only satisfy your friends. ~ "So Much Work"”

“Would you like to play
With the thought of a friend
In a distant passing stage
While you lie around
With your hands up and out
So resigned you will fall down.”

“When you lose your temper, you lose a friend. When you lie, you lose yourself.”

“All your friends think you're satisfied, but they can't see your soul, no, no, no…”

“It was maddening how your best friend could twist the knobs inside of you so much that it hurt.”

“A friend once said, and I found to be true, That everyday people, they lie to God too, So what makes you think, that they won't lie to you.”

“If you lie to your husband - even about something so banal as how much you drink - each lie is a brick in a wall going up between you, and when he tells you he loves you, it's deflected away.”

“Welcome baby,
It's your turn to live,
They lie in wait for you, chicken pox, whooping cough, smallpox,
Malaria, TB, heart disease, cancer, and so on.
Unemployment, hunger, and so on.
Train wrecks, bus accidents, plane crashes, work accidents,
Earthquakes, floods, droughts, and so on.
Heartbreak, alcoholism, and so on.
Nightsticks, prison doors, and so on.
They lie in wait for you, the atom bomb, and so on.
Welcome baby,
It's your turn to live.
They lie in wait for you, socialism, communism, and so on.”

“Friends . . old friends. . .
So it breaks, so it ends.
There let it rest.
It has fought and won,
And is still the best
That either has done.
Each as he stands
The work of its hands,
Which shall be more
As he was before?
What is it ends
With friends?”

“Oh yeah. It would be terrible for you to have only one working fang. Your friends might want to call you Lefty”
