“I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.”

“You don't need to turn the light switch on and off, again! You have absolutely NAILED DOWN the principle finding of that experiment; when you turn the lights off, daddy can't see ANYTHING. He steps on your toys trying to find you and kill you… And breaks his foot!”

“I'm one of the blind alleys off the main road of procreation.”

“It takes time, see. You finish painting the painting and then you turn it to the wall. I mean, you say, does it have it or doesn't it have it? If it doesn't have it, you throw it away, but if you think it has it, you turn it to the wall. And then when you have made some more work, then you turn them all over. And you, again, try to see exactly what it does mean and just exactly how effectively you have rendered this meaning.”

“It is always so, I guess, validating when you meet somebody that you esteem -- and then they turn out to be everything [you thought] and more.”

“To me, for politicians to claim that we have an answer to every problem is silly. When you listen to some politicians reeling off their prepared answers, you almost fall for it. They're all experts. But nothing ever happens.”

“You're out in the cold,
Sometimes,
As far as you can see,
Misty.
You want to run
Into the sun,
The road is lost,
Sand shifty.
But suddendly, out of the blue,
Some kind of magic
Pushes you through!
You don't know when,
How or why,
But someday can take off, fly!”

“When you bite off more than you can chew, you pay the penalty, somebody's got to tell the tale, I guess it must be up to me.”

“Remember to celebrate milestones as you prepare for the road ahead.”
