"Who knows what may lie around the next corner? There may be a window somewhere ahead. It may look out on a field of sunflowers."
"Longhaired preachers come out every night, Tryin' to tell us what's wrong and what's right. But when asked about something to eat, They will tell you in voices so sweet. You will eat (You will eat!) By and by, (By and by!) In that glorious land in the sky. (Way up high!) Work and pray, live on hay, You'll get pie in the sky when you die. (That's a lie!)"

"Don't believe everything you hear today"

"I will die like a true-blue rebel. Don't waste any time in mourning - organize."
"The best way to get even with anyone is to put them in the rearview mirror on your way to something better."
