“Q: What is a fundamental mistake of man's?
A: To think that he is alive, when he has merely fallen asleep in life's waiting-room.”

“But a man who has lived by truth—and you have believed in what he has lived—he does not leave you merely wary when he fails you, he leaves you with nothing. I think that is why I’m nearly out of my mind.”

“Life becomes the way it is lived; and man may live the way he wants to live when he learns to think what he wants to think.”

“I’m like a man who’s been half-asleep all his life, trying to find out what he was like before he woke up.”

“Q: I can't trust Obama. I have read about him and he's not, he's not, he's a, uh— he's an Arab. He's not— [McCain shakes head] No?
John McCain: No, ma'am. No, ma'am. He's a decent, family man, citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that's what this campaign is all about. He's not. Thank you.”

“This is my principal objection to life, I think: It is too easy, when alive, to make perfectly horrible mistakes.”

“Look, we're all the same; a man is a fourteen-room house — in the bedroom he's asleep with his intelligent wife, in the living-room he's rolling around with some bareass girl, in the library he's paying his taxes, in the yard he's raising tomatoes, and in the cellar he's making a bomb to blow it all up.”

“If a man truly loves, he gives no heed to what others may think. His heart has no room for that, for it is filled to the brim with the unutterable truth of his feelings.”

“Who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived, or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?”

“Is man merely a mistake of God's? Or God merely a mistake of man?”
