“Some people are easier to love when you don't have to be around them.”

“People don't do them around me. I would never allow it. The people who are around me are people that I love, and I don't want to see people that I love hurt themselves.”

“Do you hate people?”

“I don't hate them… I just feel better when they're not around.”

“We know all the people. We know all the good people. It's a question I asked the doctors before. Some of the people we cut, they haven't been used for many, many years, and if we ever need them, we can get them very quickly. And rather than spending the money — I'm a businessperson, I don't like having thousands of people around when you don't need 'em, when we need 'em, we can get them back very quickly.”

“When people are ready to, they change. They never do it before then, and sometimes they die before they get around to it. You can't make them change if they don't want to, just like when they do want to, you can't stop them.”

“That's what people do who love you. They put their arms around you and love you when you're not so lovable.”

“Was it better to think you had lost everything, and to start over? Or easier to know that the people you loved were alive, even if you could never see them again?”

“It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”

“Don't be distracted by criticism. Remember ~ the only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you.”

“… most of the time, all you have is the moment, and the imperfect love of the people around you.”
