“When i said nothing, the best thing that happened to me in three years left. Damn, i was an idiot.”

“I don't give a damn about where I happen to be, provided nothing stops me from going into my mind.”

“I love life, even when bad things happen to me. I can't stop loving it. Every season of the year comes with a promise that something wonderful is going to happen to me someday.”

“The seed of a bamboo tree is planted, fertilized and watered. Nothing happens for the first year. There´s no sign of growth. Not even a hint. The same thing happens - or doesn´t happen - the second year. And then the third year. The tree is carefully watered and fertilized each year, but nothing shows. No growth. No anything. For eight years it can continue. Eight years! Then - after the eight years of fertilizing and watering have passed, with nothing to show for it - the bamboo tree suddently sprouts and grows thirty feet in three months!”

“I thought of the things that had happened to me over the years, and of how little I had made happen.”

“Had a gay bull I had to sell last year. That was a damn nuisance. Gay son? That don't cost me nothing.”
