And when the sun rises we are afraid it might not remain when the sun sets we are afraid it might not rise in the morning when our stomachs are full we are afraid of indigestion when our stomachs are empty we are afraid we may never eat again when we are loved we are afraid love will vanish when we are alone we are afraid love will never return and when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed but when we are silent we are still afraid so it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive

Do not be afriad! i can see that americans are not afraid. they are not afraid of the sun, they are not afraid of the wind, they are not afraid of 'today'. they are, generally speaking, brave, good people. and so i say to you today, always be brave. do not be afraid. do not be afraid. god is with you. do not be afraid to search for god-then you will truly be the land of the free, the home of the brave. god bless america.

My father had not been outside the house except to drive back and forth to work or sit out in the backyard, for months, nor had he seen his neighbors. now he looked at them, from face to face, until he realized i had been loved by people he didn't even recognize. his heart filled up, warm again as it had not been in what seemed so long to him- save small forgotten moments with buckley, the accidents of love that happened with his son. ~pgs 209-210; buckley, lindsey and jack on susie

My father, we bumped heads when i was younger, much younger... i had different ideas that i shared with him. he didn't like them as much. he gets upset or whatever. i guess i had a strong opinion from when i was a little boy.

My father taught me to weigh my words carefully, and speak up only when i had something insightful to add to the proceedings, or something really funny to say. he also taught me that if i couldn’t be that kind of guy in real life, that i could earn a healthy living pretending to be that guy in the movies – particularly when paired up with a long haired stoner.
