“Real life is never so neat as the stories we choose to tell about it”

“They can't tell so much about you if you got your eyes closed.”

“Like a cartoon world, where the figures are flat and outlined in black, jerking through some kind of goofy story that might be real funny if it weren't for the cartoon figures being real guys... ”

“To hell with facts! We need stories!”

“1. Never tell everything at once.”

“It isn't by getting out of the world that we become enlightened, but by getting into the world…by getting so tuned in that we can ride the waves of our existence and never get tossed because we become the waves.”

“You never get cheered for telling people the situation is not as simple as they think.”
