You don't have to be afraid of looking into my face. We've done nothing to each other that time will not erase.

I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.

Life is sad, life is a bust, all you can do is do what you must.

Anybody can be specific and obvious. That's always been the easy way. It's not that it's so difficult to be unspecific and less obvious; it's just that there's nothing, absolutely nothing, to be specific and obvious about.

For whose sake did you live, for whose sake did you die? Forgive me, baby, for what I didn't do.

One should never be where one does not belong.

As he weeps to wicked birds of prey, who pick up on his bread crumb sins, and there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden.
