Quotations

I think a plan is just a list of things that don't happen.

The longest distance between two points is a kidnapper and his money.

We don't want your forgiveness; we won't make excuses. We're not gonna blame you, even if you are an accessory, but we will not accept your natural order. We didn't come for absolution, we didn't ask to be redeemed, but isn't that the way it is? Every goddamn time. Your prayers are always answered, in the order they're received.

There's always free cheese in a mousetrap.

A heart is the only thing that has value. If you have one, get rid of it.

You know what I'm gonna tell God when I see him? I'm gonna tell him I was framed.

I can promise you a day of reckoning you won't live long enough to never forget. - Joe Sarno

Karma is justice without the satisfaction. I don't believe in justice. - Joe Sarno

[To his dying friend] To let live.
