“The Sun never sets. It is we who rise think to shine. ”

“Since we had always sky about,when we had eagles they flew outleaving no shadow bigger then wrens'to trouble our most aeromantic hens.Too busy bridging loneliness to be alonewe hacked in ties what Emily etched in bone.We French, we English, never lost our civil war,Endure it still, a bloodless civil bore;No wounded lying about, no Whitman wanted.It's only by our lack of ghosts we're haunted.”

“It is when we fall that we are given the opportunity to rise up and reach new heights.”

“If you think you are too small to make a difference, you have never been in a dark room with a mosquito”

“Lonely's a temporary condition, a cloud that blocks out the sun for a spell and then makes the sunshine seem even brighter after it travels along. Like when you're far away from home and you miss the people you love and it seems like you're never going to see them again. But you will, and you do, and then you're not lonely anymore.Lonesome's a whole other thing. Incurable. Terminal. A hole in your heart you could drive a semi truck through. So big and so deep that no amount of money or whiskey or pussy or dope in the whole goddamn world can fill it up because you dug it yourself and you're digging it still, one lie, one disappointment, one broken promise at a time.”

“Never a horse that can’t be rode and never a rider that can’t be throwed. (I’ll pass this off as my own, but I really stole it from my father, a cowboy and rodeo rider in his younger years.)”

“When we seek to change others to suit our desires we engage in folly, but when we seek to improve ourselves, as an example to others we can change the world.”
