When your heart is a party, solitude becomes crowded with memories.
Love is what is new—so old and necessary—the old god that interchanges values, meaning, sentimentality, food, and languages—the missing link in this culture of destruction and death.
United States of Banana (2011)
If you want to know what love is, have a child. If you want to know what pain is, bury him.
I love hiccups and I love sneezes and I love blinks and I love belches and I love gluttons. I love hair. I love bears. For me, the round. For me, the world.
Empire of Dreams (1988)
What is dignity? The measure of liberty.
* "If you want to know what love is, have a child. If you want to know what pain is, bury him".
Yo-Yo Boing! (1998)
