“I hated the tests the raised hopes and failed expectations."- Two Kinds”
“I love America and I hate it. I'm torn between the two. I have two conflicting visions of America. One is a kind of dream landscape and the other is a kind of black comedy.”
“No matter what the odds, a man does not pin his last hope for survival on something and then expect that it will fail.”
“Everybody I know fails the acid test of friendship.”
“A test isn't really a test unless failing it truly tempts you...”
“Oft expectation fails, and most oft there where most it promises; and oft it hits where hope is coldest, and despair most fits.”
