I don't know where we got the notion that God wants us to suffer. Every living thing tends toward the good or we would have been gone a long time ago.

Living a very long time would be a very scary thing.

I been a long time leaving but I'm going to be a long time gone.

A quarter century of running a restaurant - that's a long time to do one thing.

In every living thing there is the desire for love.

I slept fourteen feet from a polka tavern as a kid growing up. I heard polkas all night long, people singing and drinking beers and having a great time. I know more polkas than Frankie Yancovic!
