"Life is what happens to you while..." - Quote by John Lennon

“I'll be a good boy, please make me well. I promise you anything, get me out of this hell. Cold turkey has got me on the run.”

“As in a love affair, two creative people can destroy themselves trying to recapture that youthful spirit, at twenty-one or twenty-four, of creating without even being aware of how it's happening”

“When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years, then they expect you to pick a career.”

“If I had my life to live over again, I would elect to be a trader of goods rather than a student of science. I think barter is a noble thing.”

“Home is the bottom line of life, the anvil upon which attitudes and convictions are hammered out the single most influential force in our earthly existence. No price tag can adequately reflect its value.”

“Comedy is tragedy revisited.”

“It is easy to make plans in this world; even a cat can do it; and when one is out in those remote oceans it is noticeable that a cat's plans and a man's are worth about the same. There is much the same shrinkage in both, in the matter of values.”

“Life is what comes along after you have planned something else.”

“The primary reason for failure is that people do not develop newplans to replace those plans that didn't work.”
