I am infected with life and will die of it in time.

The true secret in being a hero lies in knowing the order of things...Things must happen when it is time for them to happen.

It’s a rare man who is taken for what he truly is.

What happened instead was that the tree fell in love with him and began to murmur fondly of the joy to be found in the eternal embrace of a red oak. "Always, always," it sighed, "faithful beyond any man's deserving. I will keep the color of your eyes when no other in the world remembers your name. There is no immortality but a tree's love.

Sitting up all night would be pointless if somebody you loved wasn't sitting up with you, picking out music to play and helping you kill the bourbon. Walking by yourself in the rain is for college kids who think loneliness makes poets.

...but the enchantment of error that you put on me I must wear forever in your eyes.

I am infected with life and will die of it in time.
