“They were letting off fireworks down at the waterfront, the sky exploding in grenades of colour. Whatever it is that pulls the pin, that hurls you past the boundaries of your own life into a brief and total beauty - even for a moment - it is enough.”

“Life is not a firework to be let off at the end of a party.”

“'Cause baby you're a firework,
Come on, show 'em what you're worth.
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y.Baby, you're a firework,
Come on, let your colors burst.
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em falling down-own-own.”

“How can you pull down strongholds of Satan if you don't even have the strength to turn off your TV?”

“What was important wasn't the fireworks, it was that we were together this evening, together in this place, looking up into the sky at the same time.”

“To grow you must be willing to let your present and future be totally unlike your past.”

“I swallowed a hand grenade that never stops exploding.”

“Perhaps all romance is like that; not a contract between equal parties but an explosion of dreams and desires that can find no outlet in everyday life. Only a drama will do and while the fireworks last the sky is a different colour.”

“Insecurites are about as useful as trying to put the pin back in the grenade.”

“To live your brief life rightly, isn't that enough?”
