Kinky Friedman Quotes

see the people on the sidewalk?...aren't you glad you're not one of them?

they're all so self-importantly going nowhere...they just have no idea of who they are or where they really belong. nothing will ever be enough for them. nothing will truly make them happy. they all think they've got to get someplace, got to meet someone, got to get to work, got to get home, got to keep that appointment. if they had a hundred million bucks, it wouldn't be enough for them. if they had four cars, they'd need more. if they had four homes, they'd need more. they are organically out of touch with their land and their tribe.

When I am dead I hope that he will eat. Everything I have been and have not been. And crunch and feed upon it and grow fat. Eating my life all up as it is his. Stevie Smith

We seek Thee because we need Thee, for in Thee we live and move and have our being. Amen. Aiden Wilson Tozer
