Growing up, I was never the kind of girl to dream about wedding dresses and pretty houses.
I can work as a writer, but I wanted to do stand-up.
I didn't see a lot of women who looked like me on TV when I was growing up.
Women have a way of contorting things sometimes. We all have our moods, ups and downs.
IV REVEILLE Wake: the silver dusk returning Up the beach of darkness brims, And the ship of sunrise burning Strands upon the eastern rims. Wake: the vaulted shadow shaatters, Trampled to the floor it spanned, And the tent of night in tatters Straws t...

Willard: My mission is to make it up into Cambodia. There's a Green Beret Colonel up there who's gone insane. I'm supposed to kill him. Chef: What? Oh, that's typical! Shit! Fuckin' Vietnam mission! I'm short, and we gotta go up there so you can kill...
Up until then it had only been himself. Up to then it had been a private wrestle between him and himself. Nobody else much entered into it. After the people came into it he was, of course, a different man. Everything had changed then and he was no lo...
Loo, life is black and white. You don't know what's good for you, because you don't see the black and white! You don't see where the black lines end and where the white lines begin! You're going to grow up to be no good if you keep on that way. It's ...
It's not about who you sleep with, or whether you know about sports or tools or have a pearl-wearing wife or whether commercials make you cry. [...] it's about whether you step up. When something hard comes along. A man steps up. He doesn't dodge it ...
Our lives drifts along with normal things happening. Some ups, some downs, but nothing to go down in history about. Nothing so fantastic or terrible that it'll be told for a thousand years. “But because we grew up surrounded by big dramatic story a...

The corn will bend but it still ends up in the mill.
The cow that's first up gets the first of the dew.
The water that a ship sails on is the same water that swallows it up.
To act in anger is like tying up a ship in a storm.
A boat that is not tied up will drift along with the stream.
One cannot scoop up the ocean with a sea shell.
When night falls the face of the wolf lights up.
The heart is like a goat that has to be tied up.
