“• This seems impossible to me. It seems biologically impossible to stay the same size, although I must. It seems one must always be either bigger or smaller than they were at some arbitrary point in time to which all things are compared. The panties that are possibly tighter than they were. When? You can't say when. But you are absolutely positive no question that it's true.”

“Everything in the world starts small and then becomes bigger—except bad things. They start big, and then get smaller.”

“Waylon said it best when he sang to Willy; 'If you see me gettin' smaller, I'm leavin' don't be grievin', just gotta get away from here. If you see me gettin' smaller, don't worry, I'm in no hurry I've got the right to disappear.”

“Sometimes we must do things, plenty scared or not. To be able to say afterward,`I was plenty scared`makes a man a bigger man, not a smaller one.”
