I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging and less tugging.

Senator John Kerry Quotes |

So he invented...Jay Gatsby...and to this conception he was faithful to the end. F. Scott Fitzgerald Quotes |

| The parents age must be remembered, both for joy and anxiety. Confucius Quotes |
| [While the album, a social commentary about suburban malaise and global misguidance, comes with a parental advisory sticker, Green Day's concerts don't come with a warning about all the F-bombs Armstrong drops between songs. As the father of boys, ages 6 and 10 (who have seen the show, he says), he says that he's well aware of his language and that he uses certain words to make a point.] I don't consider it vulgarity. I think of it more as reality, ... It's up to the parents to be the judge of that. Green Day Quotes |

Bible Quotes |
| This is fish number six hundred and forty-one in a lifetime of goldfish. My parents bought me the first one to teach me about loving and caring for another living breathing creature of God.
