Tyler and me at the edge of the roof, the gun in my mouth, I'm wondering how clean this gun is.

Everyone thinks their whole life should be at least as much fun as masturbation.

What you have to consider is the possibility that God doesn't like you. Could be, God hates us. This is not the worst thing that could happen.

There's a terrible dark joy when the only person who knows all your secrets is finally dead.

Rant Casey used to say, "No matter what happens, it's always now..." Talk about cryptic. I think what Rant meant was, we live in the present moment of reality, and no matter what's come before, no matter how much we loved a person or a dog, when it attacks us we'll react to that moment of danger.

And it's funny how when somebody saves you, the first thing you want to do is save other people. All other people. Everybody. The kid never knew the man's name. But he never forgot that smile. "Hero" isn't the first word, but it's the first word that comes to mind.

Unless we have that moment of chaos, followed by the emotional release of realization, nothing will be remembered.
