“It seemed to me that this world has a serious shortage of both logic and kindness.”
“I can bear any pain as long as it has meaning.”
“Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.”
“Pride be damned, we do what must be done to survive.”
“I'd love to do comedy. And I think I have a pretty good sense of comic thing, so I'd really like to try that.”
