“Go for souls and go for the worst.”

“There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true.”

“These worst mornings with cold floors and hot windows and merciless light—the soul’s certainty that the day will have to be not traversed but sort of climbed, vertically, and then that going to sleep again at the end of it will be like falling, again, off something tall and sheer.”

“Burned and squashed to death in a silver vat of soup. There must be worst ways to go. But not many.”

“It is impossible to go through life without trust: that is to be imprisoned in the worst cell of all, oneself.”

“We will go down in history either as the world's greatest statesmen or its worst villains.”

“Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk.”

“Where did love go?
Where did love go?
Are our souls empty?
Are we done yet?”

“Hope for the best. Expect the worst.
The world's a stage. We're unrehearsed.
No way of knowing which way it's going.
Take your chances, there are no answers.
Hope for the best. Expect the worst.”

“Dictionaries are like watches; the worst is better than none, and the best cannot be expected to go quite true.”
