“...the best Evil Plan offers something much more for people--a chance to buy into an idea that matters, and share it with people who matter to them.”

“We're all lost. The best chance we got is to wander this life with the people who matter.”

“Sunil and Abdul sat together more often than before, but when they spoke, it was with the curious formality of people who shared the understanding that much of what was said did not matter, and that much of what mattered could not be said.”

“... that was what should truly matter in this world. What you have to offer people, not what you can buy.”

“I know from the bottom of my heart and with all of it, that it doesn't matter if at the end of your life you can say that you shared the best of yourself with the rest of the world and it doesn't matter if everyone in the world remembers you as wonderful; but what matters is if at the end of your life you can say that you shared the best of yourself with the handful of people who are around you, that you gave the wonderful in you, to the people you love and who love you. Happiness never has and never will come from fame.”

“We all need people, Theo. It doesn't matter how we find the people who matter to us; it just matters that we hold on to them”
