“Give a man a fire and he’s warm for a day, but set fire to him and he’s warm for the rest of his life.”


“If you trust in yourself. . .and believe in your dreams. . .and follow your star. . . you’ll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren’t so lazy.” 


“It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it’s called Life.” 


“God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won’t tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.” 


“Time is a drug. Too much of it kills you.”
