“It is not important for life to meet your great expectations. What is important is that you hold high expectations of yourself and meet them greatly.”

“Hold dear and true friends close to your heart, it matters not where you find them, only that you treat them with love and respect always.”

“You wear your skin like it's too tight.”

“The deaf people there with balloons, holding them up and feeling the vibrations of the balloons to the Germs, all these fuckin' great bands, and using these balloons and dancing around. For a tough old punk, it just made your heart -- it gave you that beautiful feeling. They loved the music, and we were making money for them.”

“A lie believed acts as truth until it is neutralized.” The false beliefs you hold about your life become the personal laws of your life, holding you prisoner until you break your agreement with them.”
