“Ophelia was a cyclone, tempest
a god damned hurricane
your common sense
your best defense
lay wasted and in vain”

“I wanna be your happiness.
I wanna be your common sense pain.”

“Be mild and firm. Apply your best exertions to put us in a proper posture of defense.”

“No, we fight because we are free men who don't sleep under oppression. We want to restore freedom to our nation, just as you lay waste to our nation. So shall we lay waste to yours.”

“If it's ka it'll come like a wind, and your plans will stand before it no more than a barn before a cyclone”

“Waste not your Hour, nor in the vain pursuit
Of This and That endeavour and dispute;
Better be jocund with the fruitful Grape
Than sadden after none, or bitter, Fruit.”

“There lay certitude; there, in the daily round. All the rest hung on mere threads and trivial contingencies; you couldn't waste your time on it. The thing was to do your job as it should be done.”

“I have no need of your God-damned sympathy. I only wish to be entertained by some of your grosser reminiscences.”

“Our best theories are not only truer than common sense, they make more sense than common sense…”

“I wouldn't waste a day, not an hour, not a moment. Take what you want and damn caution. Live, enjoy. Feed ravenously. Or the biggest regret you'll have at the end of your life is wasted time.”
