“Should, is the worst wordin the English language. People always think things "should" be a certain way, and when they'renot, they're disappointed.”

“Should," I suddenly recal myself saying to Samantha and Miranda, "is the worst word in the English language. People always thing thing 'should' be a certain way, and when they're not, they're disappointed.”

“I think the most dangerous word in the English language is "should." I "should" have done this. Or I "should" do that. "Should" implies responsibility. It connotes demand. Which is just not the case. Life ebbs and flows.”

“Why do we always begin to think about people when they die? I think we should think about people while they're still alive! That way, they can know that we're thinking about them! I always tell people when I'm thinking about them, or that I thought about them, or that I have been thinking about them and it almost always scares them away, but so what, I am practicing the art of life and if that is frightening to them then maybe they need to start living while they're still alive!”

“English should not stoop to embrace the lowest common denominator. Rather, society should step up and grant the language the respect it deserves.”

“...You don't always get what you expect. I wish someone, sometime when I was growing up, would have told me what expectations would get me. ... Our parents, schools, everyone tells us things will be a certain way when we're adults and if they're not that way, we should make them be; or at least pretend. But after a certain point that just doesn't work.”
