“The love of learning, the sequestered nooks,
And all the sweet serenity of books”

“Fill your house with stacks of books, in all the crannies and all the nooks.”

“Dedication: To my daughter Leonora without whose never-failing sympathy and encouragement this book would have been finished in half the time.”

“Those whose conduct gives room for talk
Are always the first to attack their neighbors.”

“Everything that I do is very autobiographical. I’m trying to be as much of an open book as possible and give the audience every single piece of me.”

“Go away,
Give me a chance to miss you.
Say goodbye,
It'll make me want to kiss you.
I love you so
Much more when you're not here,
Watchin all the bad shows,
Drinking all of my beer.I don't believe Adam and Eve
Spent every goddamn day together.
If you give me some room, there will be room enough for two.”

“… I felt fear enter the halls of my mind, but I didn't give it the keys to every room.”

“I find television very educational. Every time someone switches it on I go into another room and read a good book.”
