“the wretcheder one is, the more one smokes; and the more one smokes, the wretcheder one gets—a vicious circle.”

“The more one knows, the more one comprehends, the more one realizes that everything turns in a circle.”

“I don't care. I'm just gonna smoke. I'm just gonna totally smoke. I'll finish these, go to the store and get a brand new pack, smoke the shit out of that one.”

“Each one of us must suffer long to himself before he can learn that he is but one in a great community of wretchedness which has been pitilessly repeating itself from the foundation of the world.”

“Smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.”

“One has followed the other in an endless circle, for it is certain that as man's insight increases so he finds both wretchedness and greatness within himself. In a word man knows he is wretched. Thus he is wretched because he is so, but he is truly great because he knows it.”
