“On the Road that I have taken, one day walking I awaken, amazed to see where I've come, where I'm going, where I'm from.”

“Besides, I can't get to where I want to go by conscious or unconscious suicide. I've got my strange little life to lead. Leading it the best I can - that's how I buy the ticket to where I want to be.”

“I can do what I need to do. I can get where I want to go, no matter how hard it is.”

“In spite of where we were, how we had gotten here and why we had come, I felt that at this moment of our lives, this place was exactly where we belonged. We were not drifting but rising, rising toward something right and of significance.”

“I'm alive but I have no life. I'm alive but also dead. I'm dead and alive.”

“I am no theologian. I would not be surprised, however, if Heaven proved to be a cozy kitchen, where delicious treats appeared in the oven and in the refrigerator whenever you wanted them, and where the cupboards were full of good books.”

“When you start life as a tumor with a brain, there's no where to go but up.”
