“We're all dead the moment we're born. Just, some of us get there faster than others.”

“We're all running away. Some of us just don't get very far.”

“We’re all dying, Cassel. It’s just that some of us are dying faster than others.”

“Darling, we're all whores under the skin, whether we give ourselves by calculation or by desire. It's just that some of us demand a higher price than others.”

“We're all born strangers to ourselves and each other, and we're seldom formally introduced.”

“The simple truth is that love is a part of who we are, not something that others "give" to us if we're worthy of it. We're taught that if we just find that right person, and that person "falls in love" with us, everything will be fine. We're not taught about recognizing the love that is a part of our spirits, the love that we radiate when we recognize the beauty and need in all the people that surround us. Love is ours to share, at all moments and in all situations, but for some reason we fear doing so.”
