“It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry”
“It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.”
“Submission to what people call their 'lot' is simply ignoble. If your lot makes you cry and be wretched, get rid of it and take another.”
“For a lot of people, poetry tends to be dull. It's not read much. It takes a special kind of training and a lot of practice to read poetry with pleasure. It's like learning to like asparagus.”
“Baby, it's either laugh or cry and crying takes way too much energy. If you can't find humor in the shit life heaps on you, you really will grow miserable.”
“Stay. Fight. Live. Take it. Cry. Cry. Cry. ”
