Too much virtue has a corrupting effect.

You can't make anyone love you and you can't stop anyone from dying.

That's the way the system works. Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you.

You kill people you hate or you kill in rage or you kill to get even, but you don't kill someone you're indifferent to.

You never know which people will affect your life.

It's disconcerting to realize how little you have to say to someone who once occupied such a prominent place in your bed.

You try to keep life simple but it never works, and in the end all you have left is yourself.
