There is no guarantee what will give you happiness any which way. I know many married people who are unhappy.
No one will ever know what 'In Cold Blood' took out of me. It scraped me right down to the marrow of my bones. It nearly killed me. I think, in a way, it did kill me.
I will continue to keep fighting sucking the marrow out of life as life sucks the marrow out of me.
People will visit Mars, they will settle mars, and we should because it's cool.
The mixed martial arts way of life will give you focus.
Martin Luther King Jr. is remembered as our prince of peace, of civil rights. We owe him something major that will keep his memory alive.

I don't ascribe to the idea of the ivory tower composer who sits alone in a room composing his masterpieces and then comes down from Mount Sinai with the tablets. It doesn't work like that.
