“Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way. This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of complaining.”

“We're all damaged in our own way. Nobody's perfect. I think we're all somewhat screwy. Every single one of us.”

“Even when you think you have your life all mapped out, things happen that shape your destiny in ways you might never have imagined. ”

“Imagine it. Use all your strength and imagine it exactly. And it will happen that way.”

“Stop thinking all the time that you're in the way, that you're bothering the person next to you. If people don't like it, they can complain. And if they don't have courage to complain, that's their problem.”

“Don't you think it's time you got out of your own way? Time you stop ending things before they start, time you stopped imagining the worst-case scenario, and giving in without a fight?""And if things turn out as bad as I imagine they might?""Then you chalk it up to shit happening and get on with your life.”
