A story should have a beginning a middle and an end but not necessarily in that order.

In order to succeed we must first believe that we can.

Most songs have meager beginnings. You wake up in the morning you throw on your suspenders and you subvocalize and just think. They seem to form like calcium. I can't think of a story right off the bat that was that interesting. I write things on the back of my hand usually and sing into a tape recorder.

I've done the most awful rubbish in order to have somewhere to go in the morning.

In order to have good fried chicken you should wash and season the bird the morning you're preparing it for dinner. Don't wait and do it right before you start cooking. Throw it in the refrigerator seasoned that morning and give it a chance to soak up all the salt and pepper and goodness.

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards they try to have more things or more money in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier.

Money is the last enemy that shall never be subdued. While there is flesh there is money or the want of money but money is always on the brain so long as there is a brain in reasonable order.

The writer must earn money in order to be able to live and to write but he must by no means live and write for the purpose of making money.

I think the person who takes a job in order to live - that is to say for the money - has turned himself into a slave.

When I was little we lived on 8 acres and my mom had a horse. But when I was 7 my mom kicked my dad out and then in order to feed us five kids she got critters cheap or for free and raised them for food. We milked a cow raised chickens pigs and beef cattle. We heated our one-story house with wood and stayed cold all winter.
