“I have lived one step away from losing my mind for years. I am quick and accurate in spotting unstable streaks in others.”

“I have come one step away from everything.And here I stay, far from everything,one step away.”

“It's hard to walk away from a winning streak, even harder to leave the table when you're on a losing one.”

“I love to lose myself in other men's minds. When I am not walking, I am reading.”

“If I open this envelope fifty years from now, I will be again as I am now and there will be no being old for me. There's a long, long time yet before fifty years...millions of hours of time. But one hour has gone already since I sat here...one hour less to live...one hour gone away from all the hours of my life.”

“This girl is destroying me. A girl who has spent the last year in an insane asylum. A girl who would try to shoot me dead for kissing her. A girl who ran off with another man just to get away from me. Of course this is the girl I would fall for. I close a hand over my mouth. I am losing my mind.”
