“I was never more alive than when the Dark Passenger was driving.”

“I'm not sure what I am. I just know there's something dark in me. I hide it. I certainly don't talk about it, but it's there always, this Dark Passenger. And when he's driving, I feel alive, half sick with the thrill of complete wrongness. I don't fight him, I don't want to. He's all I've got. Nothing else could love me, not even... especially not me. Or is that just a lie the Dark Passenger tells me? Because lately there are these moments when I feel connected to something else... someone. It's like the mask is slipping and things... people... who never mattered before are suddenly starting to matter. It scares the hell out of me.”

“Learn to drive?""Never," said Quentin. "My mission in life is to be a passenger.”

“you're never more alive than when you're almost dead.”

“You're never more alive than in battle.""Never more dead after," I say.”

“We are never more fully alive, more completely ourselves, or more deeply engrossed in anything, than when we are at play.”
