“Sometimes you confuse me with Santa Claus
It's the big white beard I suppose.”

“I don't believe. I never have, not in big beards in the sky.”

“By the way, for the kids at home, Santa just is white, but this person is arguing that maybe we should also have a black Santa. Santa is what he is, and just so you know, we're just debating this because someone wrote about it, kids.”

“Everybody knows it. Wizards are supposed to have beards. It's common knowledge.”

“Darling, would you like to grow a beard?'
'Would you like me to?'
'It might be fun. I'd like to see you with a beard.”

“Young men go to war. Sometimes because they are have to, sometimes because they want to. Always, they feel they are supposed to. This comes from the sad, layered stories of life, which over the centuries have seen courage confused with picking up arms, and cowardice confused with laying them down.”

“Sometimes I cry cause I'm confused,
Is this a fact of being used?
There is no life for me at all,
'Cause I give myself at beck and call.”

“Sometimes I'm so devious I confuse myself.”

“You confuse me with something that is in you. I will not predict how you want to use me.”

“If I could calm or restrain you
for the sake of pity
save the pistol
save the cynic's tongue
save the cool white stare
treat me to an honest face sometime”
