Not to sound too much like Christopher Guest in 'Waiting for Guffman ' but on Thanksgiving you're putting on a show!

I didn't know the full dimensions of forever but I knew it was longer than waiting for Christmas to come.

Godot is whatever it is in life that you are waiting for: 'I'm waiting to win the lottery. I'm waiting to fall in love'. For me as a child it was Christmas. At least that eventually came.

I was at the vice president's Christmas party. I thought that his speech was spectacular and I knew that it was a very emotional and difficult thing for him to do but I admonished him for not waiting just one more stinking day.

If I became a philosopher if I have so keenly sought this fame for which I'm still waiting it's all been to seduce women basically.

Old myths old gods old heroes have never died. They are only sleeping at the bottom of our mind waiting for our call. We have need for them. They represent the wisdom of our race.

When I sit at my table to write I never know what it's going to be until I'm under way. I trust in inspiration which sometimes comes and sometimes doesn't. But I don't sit back waiting for it. I work every day.

I also don't trust Caribou anymore. They're out there on the tundra waiting... Something's going down. I'm right about this.

What should I have known or written had I been a quiet mercantile politician or a lord in waiting? A man must travel and turmoil or there is no existence.

Time always seems long to the child who is waiting - for Christmas for next summer for becoming a grownup: long also when he surrenders his whole soul to each moment of a happy day.
