“Having an aura of menace is like having a pet weasel, because you rarely meet someone who has one, and when you do it makes you want to hide under the coffee table.”

“I want to talk about love. Loving someone…I mean really loving someone…means you are willing to admit that the person you love is not what you first fell in love with, not the image you first had; and you must be able to like them still for being as close to that image as they are, and avoid disliking them for being so far away.”

“It's you who are strange. Talking to you is like talking to someone who has no shadow.”

“… and when you meet someone and fall in love, and they fall in love with you, you ask them "Will you take my heart-- stains and all?" and they say "I will," and they ask you the same question and you say, "I will," too.”

“You really get to meet people on such a personal level. There's a real bonding in someone beating the crap out of you.”

“A straightforward, honest person should be like someone who stinks: when you're in the same room.”

“Someone once told me the definition of Hell: The last day you have on earth, the person you became will meet the person you could have become.”
