When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching -- they are your family.

Paranoid? Probably. But just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face

I don't care about whose DNA has recombined with whose. When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching--they are your family.

Evil isn’t the real threat to the world. Stupid is just as destructive as Evil, maybe more so, and it’s a hell of a lot more common. What we really need is a crusade against Stupid. That might actually make a difference.

Life is a journey. Time is a river. The door is ajar.

Laugh whenever you can. Keeps you from killing yourself when things are bad. That and vodka.

I had to smile at the man. I mean, you have to smile at idiots and children.

There is a primal reassurance in being touched, in knowing that someone else, someone close to you, wants to be touching you. There is a bone-deep security that goes with the brush of a human hand, a silent, reflex-level affirmation that someone is near, that someone cares.
