• Sometimes I come here just to be a lost mariner
  but I am never lost:
  there are the snowflakes frozen to the porthole of a jewelry store,
  here is the treasure chest open to a single pearl
  laid on a velvet slab,
  there is the plashing of faces in the aisles
  and the row of lockers stuffed with the coats and hats of the drowned
  and it is night, and the moon rows over
  the gentle waters of the parking lot.

• My biggest pet peeve are just girls who go to sports bars who have no intention on caring what teams are playing, like they're looking for just a night out. That drives me more crazy than anything else. Like, don't pretend to be a sports fan.

• Here is something you have to understand about stories: They point you in the right direction but they can't take you all the way there. Stories are crescent moons; they glimmer in the night sky, but they are most exquisite in their incomplete state. Because people crave the beauty of not-knowing, the excitement of suggestion, and the sweet tragedy of mystery.

• To wish for your own happiness is sometimes coupled with another's unhappiness. So then, what exactly should I pray for? Since I couldn't pray for my own happiness, I prayed to the moon in the night sky for the happiness of the one whose warm hand I held.

• Every time we think about being happy again, it hurts to be alive.
  Because it seems an inordinate thing for us to wish for.
  And because we think that day will never come for us.
  And that's why the only thing we can do for now...
  ...is just try to get through each night.

• Certainly something had happened to me during the night. Or after months of tension I had arrived at the edge of some precipice and now I was falling, as in a dream slowly, even as I continued to hold the thermometer in my hand, een as I stood with the soles of my slippers on the floor, even as I felt myself solidly contained by the expectant looks of my children. It was the fault of the torture that my husband had inflicted. But enough, I had to tear the pain from memory, I had to sandpaper away the scratches that were damaging my brain.

• We knew we'd be together, we didn't know when,
  But long distance love, never thought it would end.
  The feelings never changed until the call came...
  You were engaged, I was in pain.
  It was such a shame: the timing, it just wasn't right.
  So I say, 'Good luck,' and then I say, 'Good night.'

• Why is the world round?
  Why do the suckas bite?
  Why do the freaks come out at night?
  Why they paint Jesus white?
  I sit and wonder why we breakin hip-hop laws,
  Doing videos in houses that we know ain't yours.

• We fight every night, now that's not kosher
  I reminisce with bliss of when we was closer
  And wake up to be greeted by an argument again
  You act like you're ten
  So immature, I try to concentrate on a cure
  And keep lookin' at the front door.

• Most of you have been where I am tonight. The crash site of unrequited love. You ask yourself, How did I get here? What was it about? Was it her smile? Was it the way she crossed her legs, the turn of her ankle, the poignant vulnerability of her slender wrists? What are these elusive and ephemeral things that ignite passion in the human heart? That's an age-old question. It's perfect food for thought on a bright midsummer's night.

• America was born a Christian nation. America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness, which are derived from Holy Scripture. Ladies and gentlemen, I have a very simple thing to ask of you. I ask of every man and woman in this audience that, from this night on, they will realize that part of the destiny of America lies in their daily perusal of this great Book of revelations. (The Bible) That if they would see America free and pure they will make their own spirits free and pure by the baptism of Holy Scripture.
