“(Sylvia) I'm planning to live fast, die young, and make a good looking corpse. (Bartender Harry) I think you're off schedule.”

“I'm a Shadowhunter. Quip fast, die young.”

“I'm too young, too smart and too good-looking to die.”

“(Bartender Harry) How can you tell the male bird from the female bird? (Sylvia) He's the one with the furrowed brow; she's the happy-go-lucky one…. He's the one reading the sports page; she's the one with 12 pairs of tiny shoes. (Harry) I don't have time for this.”

“I'm bent on proving that you can make living as musician and not die young and crazy like Mozart.”

“I mean it," I said. "You're in danger."

"Relax, Harry. I'm not letting anyone lick me, and I'm not looking anyone in the eyes. It's kind of like visiting New York.”

“I can't stand it to think my life is going so fast and I'm not really living it.”

“I don't live in the fast lane I live on the off ramp.”

“When you're young you always feel that life hasn't yet begun…But then suddenly you're old and the scheduled life didn't arrive.”

“They say I'm old-fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast!”
