Mothers are all slightly insane.

I don't even like old cars. I'd rather have a goddam horse. A horse is at least human, for God's sake.

I'm quite illiterate, but I read a lot.

An artist's only concern is to shoot for some kind of perfection, and on his own terms, not anyone else's.

Goddam money. It always ends up making you blue as hell.

I don't exactly know what I mean by that, but I mean it.

All morons hate it when you call them a moron.

You take somebody that cries their goddam eyes out over phoney stuff in the movies, and nine times out of ten they're mean bastards at heart.

I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty... you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are.

People never believe you.

They didn't act like people and they didn't act like actors. It's hard to explain. They acted more like they knew they were celebrities and all. I mean they were good, but they were too good.

I am a kind of paranoid in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy.

He had a theory, Walt did, that the religious life, and all the agony that goes with it, is just something God sics on people who have the gall to accuse Him of having created an ugly world.

The worst thing that being an artist could do to you would be that it would make you slightly unhappy constantly.

I'm sick of just liking people. I wish to God I could meet somebody I could respect.

How long should a man's legs be? Long enough to touch the ground.

Its really hard to be roommates with people if your suitcases are much better than theirs.

How do you know you're going to do something, untill you do it?

People never notice anything.

I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life.

If a girl looks swell when she meets you, who gives a damn if she's late? Nobody.

Mothers are all slightly insane.

It's funny. All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they'll do practically anything you want them to.

I'm sick of not having the courage to be an absolute nobody.

It was a very stupid thing to do, I'll admit, but I hardly didn't even know I was doing it.

I like to write. I love to write. But I write just for myself and my own pleasure.

I'm known as a strange, aloof kind of man. But all I'm doing is trying to protect myself and my work.

Some stories, my property, have been stolen. Someone's appropriated them. It's an illicit act. It's unfair. Suppose you had a coat you liked, and somebody went into your closet and stole it. That's how I feel.

There is a marvelous peace in not publishing. It's peaceful. Still. Publishing is a terrible invasion of my privacy.

An artist’s only concern is to shoot for some kind of perfection, and on his own terms, not anyone else’s.

The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.

I've survived a lot of things, and I'll probably survive this.

A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you been drinkin jack and coke all morning. she can make you feel high, for the single greatest comodity known to man - promise.

Working mothers do an hour more per day than working fathers do and working mothers do on average an hour more per day with the kids than working fathers do.

A mother's got to be there to raise the children. That's all there is to it. I feel badly for those mothers who work hard, and can't do it all the time.

I am so excited to let fans in on how important my relationship with my family is to me. I hope to motivate mothers and daughters to build lifetimes of memories together and inspire kids around the world to live their dreams.

Many working mothers feel guilty about not being at home. And when they are there, they wish it could be perfect. This pressure to make every minute happy puts working parents in a bind when it comes to setting limits and modifying behavior.

Mothers always find ways to fit in the work - but then when you're working, you feel that you should be spending time with your children and then when you're with your children, you're thinking about working.

One thing all stage mothers share is an overpowering ambition for their daughters.

In their 30s women really start to live... they're not children anymore, and they're not just mothers.

It has to be real, and I think a lot of the problems we have as a society is because we don't acknowledge that family is important, and it has to be people who are present, you know, and mothers and fathers, both are not present enough with children.

Obviously Victoria and Mel B have become mothers and there is a part of me that wants to be a mum.

In the past, when I'd recorded during a break in a tour, it was so easy to sing, because I felt strong. Also, like so many new mothers, I wasn't getting a lot of sleep, and sleeping is such a huge part of being able to sing.

The worker can unionize, go out on strike; mothers are divided from each other in homes, tied to their children by compassionate bonds; our wildcat strikes have most often taken the form of physical or mental breakdown.

But, based on my friendship with Evie as young mothers, I started going on freedom rides in 1966.

I hope my tongue in prune juice smothers, If I belittle dogs and mothers.

Mothers all want their sons to grow up to be president, but they don't want them to become politicians in the process.

Most mothers are instinctive philosophers.
