“You think it's so great to die and make everyone cry and carry on. Well it ain't.”
“Dying ain't important. Everyone does that. What's important is how well you do your living.”
“It's easy to cry when you realize that everyone you love will reject you or die.”
“The only thing I can tell you is when it's there, you know it. And when it ain't, no amount of wishful thinking will make it so.”
“When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.”
“Don't cry for publishers, paper books ain't dying.”
