“There's worse that people can steal from you than money.”

“No shit, there's worse ways to be dead than dying.”

“There are worse things you can do to the people you love than kill them. The regular way is just to watch the world do it. Just read the newspaper.”

“There are worse things than finding your wife and child dead. You can watch the world do it. You can watch your wife get old and bored. You can watch your kids discover everything in the world you've tried to save them from. Drugs, divorce, conformity, disease. All the nice clean books, music, television. Distraction.”

“Angel says that rich people don't like to tolerate much. Money gives you permission to just walk away from everything that isn't pretty and perfect. You can't put up with anything less than lovely. You spend your life running, avoiding, escaping.”

“There's no way you can get the past right. You can pretend. You can delude yourself, but you can't re-create what's over.”

“Years of living in the hope that what you'll get will be better than what you have. Years of looking and feeling worse in the hope that you might look better.”
