“One of my greatest wishes in the world is to find a place with a big porch swing where I can go every week. Maybe someday.”“I wish everybody that has been hurt and abused by enemies of childhood when they were little would come to know, now and always: It’s not your fault.”“Remember: If you rearrange the letters of silent, you get listen. What does that mean? I don’t know!”“I wish everybody would take a little time, even if it’s only once a month, to get out of the rat race into the sandbox and play like a child.”“People ask me: ‘What’s your secret of happiness? You seem to be happy most of the time, when we meet up with you.’ Well, I’ll tell ya: I think one of my greatest secrets of happiness is that I can cry really hard when I need to, and I can let myself feel way, way sad. I think that crying is not a breakdown; it’s a breakthrough, and sometimes when I’m putting myself together, I have to let myself come apart.”

“At 5:55 in the morning on my birthday, I always get out my huggable globe — big, soft world — and hug it and think all kinds of peaceful thoughts out to this wonderful world we live in.”“Good night. And stay strong. And take care of each other.”“May I always remember that we influence people, for good or ill, and try to do my best.”“I’d like to hear some of the BBers’ secret wishes … a couple of mine are: I’d love to have a playground named after me. Joybubbles Playground. And I’d love to have a real happy, childlike crayon color named after me. Something I don’t think will ever happen, but it’s still fun to wish for it, anyway.”

@thegibson It still trips me out that JB lived in 412 up until his death. I might have walked past his apartment twice a day.
