“Instead of being on display on the cliff for a thousand years
I'd rather have a hearty cry on my lover's shoulder for a single night.”

“my kingdom for a kiss upon your shoulder"
lover you should have come over-”

“My hair is grey, but not with years,
Nor grew it white
In a single night,
As men's have grown from sudden fears.”

“I'd rather be a creature of the night than an old dude.”

“You’re not going to cry, are you?
- I am not going to cry! Not over you. Not in a thousand years.”

“I was hoping to get a reception like this, I'd just hoped that it would be on Thursday night instead of Tuesday night.”

“Everyone is a hypocrite in one sense or another and I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.”

“Some people there are who, being grown, forget the horrible task of learning to read. It is perhaps the greatest single effort that the human undertakes, and he must do it as a child. An adult is rarely successful in the undertaking — the reduction of experience to a set of symbols. For a thousand thousand years these humans have existed and they have only learned this trick — this magic — in the final ten thousand of the thousand thousand.”

“And that was it. All this buildup to a great leap, and I didn't fall or fly. Instead I found myself back on the edge of the cliff, blinking, wondering if I'd ever jumped at all. It's not supposed to be like this.”

“I'd rather hear a truth that'll make me cry than a lie that'll make me smile!”
