“Life is like a recycling center, where all the concerns and dramas of humankind get recycled back and forth across the universe. But what you have to offer is your own sensibility, maybe your own sense of humor or insider pathos or meaning. All of us can sing the same song, and there will still be four billion different renditions.”
“It seems to me that life circles and circles, and hopefully leads to one's own center, where things become clear. Do you not think that we recycle behaviors that do not always bring us happiness?”
“A map is a song. It's different when different people sing it. . .You will make this your own song, sing it your own way.”
“Maybe we live in a universe where all you have control over is your own kindness.”
“One of the problems with being a writer is that all of your idiocies are still in print somewhere. I strongly support paper recycling.”
“Time passes so slowly in a waiting room, as if all the wasted minutes of your life have been recycled and you are forced to endure them over again.”
