Politics is almost as exciting as war and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once but in politics many times.

I think there are things in my story that have helped my creativity. Your father being killed for instance is one of the best things that could happen to a kid if he's going to write poetry or songs.

Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.

Comedy is like music and the way to make the best music is to have skilled musicians in your band.

The problem for me still today is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I'm not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage.

In the morning he was lying dead on one of the beds fully clothed. He was dead. I got the impression he wanted to go and I must have killed him. I can't remember strangling him. I just sat there shocked.

Four men are missing R. Sorel and two emigrants. They set out this morning after buffalo and have not yet made their appearance whether killed or lost we cannot tell.

These people are very unskilled in arms... with 50 men they could all be subjected and made to do all that one wished.

During a trip to Iraq last fall I visited our theater hospital at Balad Air Force Base and witnessed these skilled medical professionals in action and met the brave soldiers whose lives they saved.

There is always inequality in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded and some men never leave the country. Life is unfair.
