“Sometimes you can't be what you ought to be, you can't have what you ought to have.”

“Sometimes you don't even know what you want until you find out you can't have it.”

“If you can't enjoy what you have, you can't enjoy more of it.”

“You have to have faith that you are doing God's will. Sometimes you will not understand. Sometimes you will doubt. But if you are doing God's will, you can't be wrong, you can't go wrong.”

“Humor is laughing at what you haven't got when you ought to have it.”

“Say what you have to say, not what you ought. Any truth is better than make-believe.”

“I can't paint the way they want me to paint and they know that too.
Of course you will say that I ought to be practical and ought to try and paint the way they want me to paint. Well, I will tell you a secret. I have tried and I have tried very hard, but I can't do it. I just can't do it! And that is why I am just a little crazy.”

“It ought to be easy, ought to be simple enough.
Man meets woman and they fall in love.
But the house is haunted and the ride gets rough.
And you've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above
If you want to ride on down in through this tunnel of love.”

“For sometimes you can't help but crave some ruin in what you love.”

“You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need.”
