“When you think that you lost everything you find out you can always lose a little more.”

“Character is what you have left when you've lost everything you can lose.”

“Rule number one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

“If you lose all hope, you can always find it again.”

“Always leave a way out, unless you really want to find out how hard a man can fight when he’s nothing to lose.”

“Its easy to lose sight of what you want when you think you want everything.”

“It is always so, I guess, validating when you meet somebody that you esteem -- and then they turn out to be everything [you thought] and more.”

“You can tell yourself that you would be willing to lose everything you have in order to get something you want. But it's a catch-22: all of those things you're willing to lose are what make you recognizable. Lose them, and you've lost yourself.”

“I thought it was normal, that’s the thing. When you’re little you think everything is normal. If your mother had a pointed head and green ears you’d think it’s normal. Only when you grow up do you realise that not everybody is like that. Gradually you can even come to learn that the time you are living in is strange too, that it hasn’t always been like this. The more you feel uncomfortable and unconfident and want to find a way to be like everyone else and fit in, the more normality runs away from you because there isn’t any such thing. Or if there is, you have to find someone else who’ll agree with you what it is. Which I seem singularly unable to do.”

“People always say that, when you love someone, nothing in the world matters. But that's not true, is it? You know, and I know, that when you love someone, everything in the world matters a little bit more.”
