• If I'm having a challenging moment, I jump for joy. Literally. After a minute, I feel better, and after a few minutes, I'm really happy. Everything else just drops off.

• We live by revelations, as Christians, as artists, which means we must be careful never to get set into rigid molds.

  Madeleine L'Engle

• Un minuto estoy robando en una casa de drogas. Al minuto siguiente soy el campeón de peso pesado más joven del mundo. Sólo tengo 20, 19 años, con un montón de dinero. ¿Quién soy yo? ¿Qué soy? Ni siquiera sé quién soy. Sólo soy un niño tonto que está siendo abusado y robado por abogados. Sólo soy un tonto pugnaz. Sólo soy un tonto que se cree alguien. Entonces me dices que debería ser responsable.

• For a quick lap at the Nrburgring, you've probably experienced more in seven minutes...than most people have experienced in all their life in the way of fear, in the way of tension, in the way of animosity towards machinery and to a racetrack.

• Un mendrugo de pan y un rincón para dormir. Un minuto para sonreír y una hora para llorar. Una pinta de alegría para un picoteo de problemas, Y nunca una risa pero los gemidos vienen dobles. Y eso es la vida. Una corteza y un rincón que hace que el amor precioso, Con una sonrisa para calentar y lágrimas para refrescarnos, Y la alegría parece más dulce cuando las preocupaciones vienen después, Y un gemido es la mejor de las láminas de la risa. Y eso es la vida.

• Our awareness of time affects how we think and act. This is illustrated by the story about the clock in a restaurant window. It "had stopped a few minutes past noon. One day a friend asked the owner if he knew the clock was not running. 'Yes,' replied the restaurant man, 'but you would be surprised to know how many people look at that clock, think they are hungry, and come in to get something to eat."' If only there were some kind of divine timepiece that would arouse a spiritual hunger in people!

• You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they're coming for your Social Security money. They want your f**kin' retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street.
