Never despair. Never surrender.

We're all puppets, Laurie. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings.

Please, don't go. It's lonely. There's a hole in my head as big as the world and it's so very lonely.

There is no future. There is no past. Do you see? Time is simultaneous, an intricately structured jewel that humans insist on viewing one edge at a time, when the whole design is visible in every facet.

With so much chaos, someone will do something stupid. And when they do, things will turn nasty.

Real life is messy, inconsistent, and it's seldom when anything ever really gets resolved. It's taken me a long time to realize that.

I have so very much. I have so very little.
