We see parts of each other, and we put them together. But if I want to see you in totality, you need to move away; we need space between us. Across the street ,I can see all of you at once, but then I also see this huge vista of space surrounding you...
Identity We live in a world where people define themselves by occupation. And we identify ourselves by what material possessions we have. House,cars,money,clothes etc. Take away all that and you lost your identity. Sadly to say these are the things t...
If you have to speculate if someone loves you and wants to be with you, chances are they don't. It's not that complicated. Love, in most cases, betrays the one feeling it. Don't waste moments waiting and wondering. Don't throw away your time dreaming...
I have had quite a few obsessive fans. They write to me and then they turn up at signings and look really sheepish. If I said 'boo' to them, they would run away. I think they maybe believe I could take over their lives and sort them out. If they saw ...
And that's one thing that helps me is I learn it blandly, vanilla, then I don't try to act it too soon because you start to act it, and you kind of go away from what the next sentence is, what the next paragraph is. So get it down so it kind of can -...
Once I'd reached the point where I could squirrel away more than 30 digits a minute in memory palaces, I still only sporadically used the techniques to memorize the phone numbers of people I actually wanted to call. I found it was just too simple to ...

Amon Goeth: One of you is a very lucky girl. There is an opening for a job away from all this back-breaking work, in my new villa. Umm, which of you has domestic experience? Ja, on second thought, I don't really want someone else's maid. All those an...
Chuck Noland: [to Wilson] We might just make it. Did that thought ever cross your brain? Well, regardless, I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean than to stay here and die on this shithole island, spending the rest of my life talking......
Kelly Frears: I always knew you were alive, I knew it. Everybody said that I had to let you go. I love you. You're the love of my life. Chuck Noland: I love you too, Kelly. More than you'll ever know.
I've got all my old laptops going back to my first, which was so fancy at the time, in '93 or '94, but now it's just like a doorstop. One day I said, 'I'll go in and get all my old documents in there.' The cords and the wires are all gone, the discet...
If I'm not in the dead heat of working on something, I can end up spending tons and tons of time on the Web, and I hate it. I feel the same shame I did in grad school when I was pretty much addicted to reruns of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation'. I wi...
Captain Renault: Hello Rick. Rick: Hello Louis. Captain Renault: How extravagant you are, throwing away women like that. Someday they may be scarce. You know, now I think I shall pay a call on Yvonne. Maybe get her on the rebound. Hmm? Rick: When it ...
[after Clark fails at lighting all the exterior Christmas lights at the "lighting ceremony" in front of the entire family] Frances: Talk about pissing your money away. I hope you kids see what a silly waste of resources this was. Audrey: He worked re...
Sister Aloysius Beauvier: [to Sister James] What have you seen? Sister James: It is unsettling to look at people with suspicion. I feel less close to God. Sister Aloysius Beauvier: When you take a step to address wrongdoing, you are taking a step awa...
Frank Costello: Who let this IRA motherfucker in my bar? [the man looks startled] Frank Costello: [laughs] Only kidding. How's your mother? Man in Costello's Bar: Oh... I'm afraid she's on her way out. Frank Costello: [walks away] We all are. Act acc...
Oliver Queenan: [as Billy runs away, and protects him from Costello's goons] One of you mugs got a light. Fitzy: Where's your boy? Oliver Queenan: He's studying law at Notre Dame. Fitzy: Where's your fucking boy? Fitzy: [grabs Queenan] Goddamn mother...
Chicolini: Well, you remember you gave us a picture of this man and said, 'Follow him?' Ambassador Trentino: Oh, yes. Chicolini: Well, we get on-a the job right away and in the one hour - even-a less than one hour... Ambassador Trentino: Yes? Chicoli...
SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein: Convince him that we need to leave Berlin, Eva! [a shocked and mildly horrified reaction from Eva] SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein: ...Or come with me. [Eva begins to walk away as if she has not heard him. Fegel...
Perceval: [holding the Grail to Arthur's lips] You and the land are one. Drink. Arthur: I am wasting away. I cannot die and I cannot live. Perceval: Drink from the chalice. You will be reborn and the land with you. Arthur: [drinks] Perceval... I didn...
