I must fling myself down and writhe; I must strive with every piece of force I possess; I bruise and batter myself against the floor, the walls; I strain and sob and exhaust myself, and begin again, and exhaust myself again; but do I feel pain? Never...
I'm really such a bumbler! Writing fiction is like arranging furniture in a dark room. I can't see what I'm doing. I grope for the right words. I bump against the wrong words and stumble and stub my toe and curse and keep trying to guess what belongs...

Lazar Wolf: We can fight to keep our home. Constable: Against our militia, our army? I wouldn't advise that! Tevye: I have some advice for you. Get off my land. This is still my home, my land. Get off my land.
Uncle Victor: [attempting to interest Harold in military service] The two best wars this country ever fought were against the Gerrys. I say get the Krauts on the other side of the fence where they belong. Let's get back to the kind of enemy worth kil...
Big Joe: If I hear any more threats against Captain Maitland's life, if I hear any more wild talk about going down to headquarters and killing the General, or raping the nurses at the field hospital, I'm going to strangle the guy with my bare hands! ...
Big Joe: If I hear any more threats against Capt Maitland's life. If I hear any more wild talk about going to headquarters and killing the general, or raping the nurses at the field hospital I'm gonna strangle the guy with my bare hands! You understa...
One Stab: I thought Tristan would never live to be an old man. I was wrong about that. I was wrong about many things. It was those who loved him most who died young. He was a rock they broke themselves against however much he tried to protect them.
Coleman: [offering Billy Ray a sip from his flask; Coleman dressed as a priest, Billy Ray in African garb] Would you like a sip of whiskey? Billy Ray Valentine: I do not drink, it is against my religion! Coleman: Religion is a good thing I say, taken...

Necro Butcher: Are you cool with the staples? Randy 'The Ram' Robinson: Staples? Necro Butcher: Staple gun... Not so bad on the way in, except it's a little scary, you know - you got this metal thing pressed up against you. Gonna leave some marks, ha...
Rachel Lapp: I should tell you this kind of coat doesn't have buttons. See? Hooks and eyes. John Book: Something wrong with buttons? Rachel Lapp: Buttons are proud and vain, not plain. John Book: Got anything against zippers? Rachel Lapp: Are you mak...
