❛ Why is it that I feel I’ve known you so many years? ❜

❛ Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. ❜

❛ It doesn’t matter what you do, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that’s like you after you take your hands away. ❜

❛ We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real? ❜

❛ There must be something, something we can’t imagine, to make a woman stay in a burning house; there must be something there. You don’t stay for nothing. ❜

❛ If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you’ll never learn. ❜

❛ If you drown, at least die knowing you were heading for shore. ❜

❛ You can’t make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. ❜

❛ It was a pleasure to burn. ❜

❛ I’m antisocial, they say. I don’t mix. It’s so strange. I’m very social indeed. It all depends on what you mean by social, doesn’t it? ❜

❛ Being with people is nice. But I don’t think it’s social to get a bunch of people together and then not let them talk, do you? ❜

❛ Do you notice how people hurt each other nowadays? ❜

❛ Who knows who might be the target of the well-read man? ❜

❛ I don’t talk things. I talk the meaning of things. ❜

❛ I’ll hold on to the world tight some day. I’ve got one finger on it now; that’s a beginning. ❜

❛ I just want someone to hear what I have to say. And maybe if I talk long enough it’ll make sense. ❜

❛ That’s the good part of dying; when you’ve nothing to lose, you run any risk you want. ❜

❛ Someday we’ll build the biggest goddamn steamshovel in history and dig the biggest grave of all time and shove war in it and cover it up. ❜

❛ You’re not like the others. I’ve seen a few; I know. When I talk, you look at me. ❜

❛ You’re afraid of making mistakes. Don’t be. Mistakes can be profited by. ❜

❛ When they give you lined paper, write the other way. ❜

❛ The sun burnt every day. It burnt time. ❜

❛ We have everything we need to be happy but we aren’t happy. Something is missing. ❜

❛ I feel I’m doing what I should’ve done a lifetime ago. ❜

❛ I’m not afraid. Maybe it’s because I’m doing the right thing at last. Maybe it’s because I’ve done a rash thing and don’t want to look the coward to you. ❜

❛ Good God, who were those men? I never saw them before in my life! ❜

❛ How do you get so empty? Who takes it out of you? ❜

❛ It must be right. It seems so right. ❜

❛ To everything there is a season. Yes. A time to break down, and a time to build up. A time to keep silence and a time to speak. ❜
