“It's easy to talk big, but the important thing is whether or not you clean up the shit.”

“What's really important here," I whispered loudly to myself,"is not the big things other people have thought up, but the small things you, yourself have”

“If sympathy was all it took to clean up shit, I'd have 50 times as much sympathy as anybody else”

“It's easy to forget things you don't need anymore.”

“Whether it's good for anything or not, cool or totally uncool, in the final analysis what's most important is what you can't see but can feel in your heart.”

“The little things are important, Mr. Wind-Up Bird,”

“In this world, there are things you can only do alone, and things you can only do with somebody else. It's important to combine the two in just the right amount.”
