“A bad past is like gristle. You can chew on it forever and starve yourself to death, or you can spit it out and see what else is on the table.”
“This is how I know blood is meaningless family connections are a lot like old gum -you don't have to keep chewing. You can always spit it out and stick it under the table. You can walk away.”
“Don't bite off more than you can chew because nobody looks attractive spitting it back out.”
“Always be yourself. There is nothing else you can be. How can you be not yourself? How could you be something else than what you are?”
“Doubt yourself and you doubt everything you see. Judge yourself and you see judges everywhere. But if you listen to the sound of your own voice, you can rise above doubt and judgment. And you can see forever.”
“Poverty is like a crumb that sits at a table, and starves itself to death.”
