“God isn't dead--he's just missing in action.”

“God is not dead but missing in action, and we are destined to wander again for more millennia than there are undiscovered stars.”

“Embarrassment isn't a just cause of action.”

“Jazz isn't dead. It just smells funny.”

“I miss him so much, but it's confusing, because I missed him long before he was dead, and that's the bitch of it all. I missed him long before he was dead.”

“He was part of us and when he died all the actions stopped dead, and there was no one to do them just the way he did. He was individual. He was an important man. i've never gotten over his death. Often I think what wonderful carvings never came to birth because he died. How many jokes are missing from the world, and how many homing pigeons untouched by his hands. He shaped the world. He did things to the world. The world was bankrupted of ten million actions the night he passed on. ”
