“Every once in a while God allows you to stub your toe as a kind reminder to be grateful for the miraculous body attached to it.”

“Watch where you leave your victims! I stubbed my toe on that.”

“I shall claim full amends for every fall and stubbed toe, if you do not lead us well.”

“Tragedy is when I stub my toe. Comedy is when you fall into an open manhole and die.”

“I'm grateful for anything that reminds me of what's possible in this life. Books can do that. Films can do that. Music can do that. School can do that. It's so easy to allow one day to simply follow into the next, but every once in a while we encounter something that shows us that anything is possible, that dramatic change is possible, that something new can be made, that laughter can be shared.”
