“We’re in a nest of secrets here. Don’t let down your guard.”

“And don't you let your guard down for a second because you think anything's inevitable.”

“The universe has many different secrets. We’re here to discover them by actually experiencing them.”

“San Quentin’s is the safest beach in the world. We’re not talking about lifeguards here who might yell at someone who’s being rude-we’re talking about armed guards, in watchtowers, two blocks away.”
