Avoid safe roads. They usually lead nowhere.

Don't talk about the women you've slept with. Talk about the ones who turned you down. Don't talk about the fights you've won. Talk about the times you got beat up. Don't talk about the times you scored in business. Talk about the times you lost your shirt. The men who follow this advice are charming. The ones who don't often find themselves sitting alone at the bar.

When choosing your friends, the most important thing to look for is how they treat their enemies.

If you treat a girl badly enough, she will fall in love with you.

What is it about female virginity that appeals to some men?  They spend their lives hoping to have sex with a girl whose primary appeal lies in the fact that she's almost certainly no good at it.

When you're lying on your deathbed thinking about your life, do you really think you'll give a damn about the safety you enjoyed, the money you saved, or the risks you didn't take?

Wake up, eat, go to work, come home, eat, go sleep. Repeat until dead. If that's what your life looks like, you can save a lot of time by jumping now.

Nobody ever dies of a broken heart. They just wish they had.

Most people lug an ever-growing pile of garbage around with them until they die, at which point their kids throw it away.

Why do we celebrate the fact that we are one year further from youth and one year closer to death?

When a girl asks for a small amount of cash up front, we call her a whore. When she asks for a prenuptial agreement, we call her a gold digger. When she asks for half your worldly belongings, we call her a lady.

Most roads have a smattering of smug, extra-safe drivers who go just a bit slower than the prevailing traffic, thereby provoking considerable (and perfectly justified) frustration among the less safe drivers behind, who in turn sometimes resort to dangerous manoeuvres to get by, which the extra-safe drivers then act shocked about.

People who have never been anywhere are often the most vocal when it comes to declaring which is the best place in the world.

There is exactly the same amount of evidence of Jesus Christ having existed as there is of Alice in Wonderland having existed, namely one book of apparent fiction that says so.

There are photographers and there are camera buffs, with very little overlap between the two groups. Camera buffs sweat over every specification, agonize over every comparison point, and usually end up buying expensive cameras that they admire too much to risk actually using in the real world. Photographers grab the best camera they've got handy and take pictures without worrying much about their equipment. If they damage their camera, they can always buy a pristine, barely-used replacement from a camera buff.

I refuse to believe that the Lord God Almighty, creator of the universe and all within it, is such a petulant and insecure ass that he demands slavish and sycophantic bootlicking from all his creations, failing which he will torture them for eternity.

Most people focus on how precious and sacred life is, and they protect it so dearly that they forget to live it.
