“Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.”

“Night can swallow you up, yet none of it touches you. Around any corner, there's a promise of something daring and ideal and things are just getting going. There's something obscenely joyful behind every door, either that or somebody crying with their head in in their hands. A lazy rhythm looms in the dreamy air and the atmosphere pulsates with bygone duels, past-life romance, comrades requesting comrades to aid them in some way. You can't see it, but you know it's there”

“every pleasure's got an edge of pain, pay your ticket and don't complain”

“There must be some kind of way out of here,' said the joker to the thief...”

“they say every man needs protection, they say every man must fall.yet I swear I see my reflection,some place high above this wall.....and someday I shall be released.”

“I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.”

“The worth of things can't be measured by what they cost but by what the cost you to get it, that if anything costs you your faith or your family, then the price is too high, and that there are some things that will never wear out.”
