Without gambling, I would not exist.

I love the freedom of movement that my phone gives me. That has definitely transformed my life.

It is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that he should not exist.

One always dies too soon or too late. And yet, life is there, finished: the line is drawn, and it must all be added up. You are nothing other than your life.

I do think there must be some kind of interaction between your living life and the life that goes on from here.

It was a strike against me that I didn’t wear baggy jeans and jerseys and that I never hustled, never sold drugs.

If a man or woman is born ten years sooner or later, their whole aspect and performance shall be different.

What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.

In order to exist just once in the world, it is necessary never again to exist.

I’m much healthier now.

Racing, competing, it’s in my blood. It’s part of me, it’s part of my life; I have been doing it all my life and it stands out above everything else.

Now that I understand that I’m an addict, I definitely have compassion for my mother. I get it.

I’m addicted to exercising and I have to do something every day.

War is a way of shattering to pieces… materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable and… too intelligent.

This dark diction has become America’s addiction.

They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.

I don’t like celebrities; I don’t hang out with them; I don’t relate to that life.

A prohibitionist is the sort of man one couldn’t care to drink with, even if he drank.

Compared to other animals, we humans enter the world remarkably weak and helpless. We remain relatively weak for many years before we can truly operate on our own.

So long as the universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the universe is really completely self-contained, having no boundary or edge, it would have neither beginning nor end: it would simply be. What place, then, for a creator?

My concern is that contention is becoming accepted as a way of life.

Those who cannot think or take responsibility for themselves need, and clamor for, a leader.

In New York I pretty much live in diners – I order French Fries, Diet Coke floats and lots of coffee.

There’s place and means for every man alive.

My mother was a professional sick person; she took a lot of pain pills. There are many people like that. It’s just how they are used to getting attention. I always remember she’s the daughter of alcoholics who’d leave her alone at Christmas time.

Health consists with temperance alone.

I know a lot of people who wouldn’t be comfortable with everything that comes with being in a band as big as Nirvana. The thing that I don’t understand is not appreciating that simple gift of being able to play music.

I don’t like drinking, basically.

Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.

Contention existed before the earth was formed.

The first wealth is health.

I tell you in truth: all men are Prophets or else God does not exist.

What was God doing before the divine creation?

Every living being is an engine geared to the wheelwork of the universe. Though seemingly affected only by its immediate surrounding, the sphere of external influence extends to infinite distance.

So thoroughly and sincerely are we compelled to live, reverencing our life, and denying the possibility of change. This is the only way, we say; but there are as many ways as there can be drawn radii from one centre. All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant.

I think if we didn’t contradict ourselves, it would be awfully boring. It would be tedious to be alive.

The glamour of it all! New York! America!

No good is ever done to society by the pictorial representation of its diseases.

A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.

My grandmother is over eighty and still doesn’t need glasses. Drinks right out of the bottle.

I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I’ll die like a poet.

Before finding music, I didn’t have too many aspirations. I wanted to hang out, make a little money from whatever I had to do.

Black Americans, no more than white Americans, they do not want more government programs which perpetuate dependency. They don’t want to be a colony in a nation.

I’ve always been a little homemaker.

Do I live as carelessly and worldly as unbelievers while professing to be a follower of Jesus? If so, I am exposing Christianity to ridicule and leading people to speak evil of the holy name by which I am called.

I have ‚Parents‘ magazine in my home.

I like to talk about my obsession with french fries because I don’t want people to think that ‚Let’s Move‘ is about complete, utter deprivation. It’s about moderation and real-life changes and ideas that really work for families.

Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.

The best effort of a fine person is felt after we have left their presence.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

Traditions are a common part of our lives. They can be good, and not all traditions are wrong, but sometimes they can take the joy out of life.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.

What if nothing exists and we’re all in somebody’s dream?

Increase of material comforts, it may be generally laid down, does not in any way whatsoever conduce to moral growth.

I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol.

Assassination has never changed the history of the world.

Modern science says: ‚The sun is the past, the earth is the present, the moon is the future.‘ From an incandescent mass we have originated, and into a frozen mass we shall turn. Merciless is the law of nature, and rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn to our doom.

If you really love films, and you really want to get the full impact, there’s a huge difference between watching something on a small screen with a mediocre sound system and watching it on a giant screen in a giant theater with a huge beautiful sound system. I mean, the difference is electric.
