“I could never be a chef, because I could ‘t bare the thought of my art always turning to shit.”

“Chef?" Carmel exclaims. "I could give a shit about a chef. I'm going to find the most expensive thing in that kitchen, eat one bite, and throw the rest on the floor. Then I'm going to break some plates.”

“I have always felt thisAnd I, I could never hear itSo I turned it up And turned it onAnd turned it downAlways the volume always the words”

“I knew the way lost hopes could be dangerous, how they could turn a person into someone they never thought they'd be.”

“I could imagine it. I could remember it. But I couldn't see it again, and it occured to me that the voracious ambition of humans is never sated by dreams coming true, because there is always the thought that everything might be done better and again.”

“I wish I could turn back time, but I can't. I made a stupid decision because I thought I was invincible, and I'll pay for it the rest of my life.”
