If I had to live my life over, I'd live over a saloon.

Better to sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunk Christian.

I prefer liberty with danger than peace with slavery.

I would rather be a swineherd, understood by the swine, than a poet misunderstood by men.

I preferred to set off and perish in search of my own kind than to live a lonely half-life of physical comfort and spiritual death on this murderous island.

I'd rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing you.

I prefer sinners and madmen, who can learn, who can change, who can teach-or people like myself, if I may say so, who are not afraid to eat a lobster alone as they take on their shoulders the monumental weight of thirty years

I would rather die of passion than of boredom.

I would rather die of passion than of boredom.

I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.

I would rather be the head of a fly than the tail of a lion.

I would rather die having spoken after my manner, than speak in your manner and live.

Better fare hard with good men than feast it with bad.

I’m so lonely, I just need somebody to call me — even if it’s a wrong number. I’m also hungry, so maybe that caller could order me a pizza after they hang up on me.
