Even the everyday is the stuff of poetry.

At an upscale restaurant, what you order doesn’t matter.

If you look for it, you will always find something to ruin your day.

Listening is an art. Pretending to listen is a science. Pretending not to listen is a gift from the gods.

Prisoners should not be forced to build their own prisons.

Small words speak loudly.

Imitation isn’t flattery. It’s a form of insufficiency.

False is the prophet who fails to provoke.

Whatever benefit you think you might get by going the wrong way down a one-way road, it’s not worth the risk.

When you die, you probably won’t see your life flash before your eyes. If you see anything at all, it will likely be only your imminent death: A car running a red light, a sudden, suffocating pain in your chest, or maybe a hungry bear. Hibernation can be a real beast. But whatever it is that kills you, try to enjoy that moment as much as you can: You get to go through it just once, and, like life, it won’t last all that long.
