“I have spent half of my life listening to someone else talk about God. Because of this history, I've developed something of an immunity to sermons.”

“I don't know why I've spent over half ofMy life talking about dying”

“I have attended church regularly since I was less than a week old. I've listened to sermons about virtue, sermons against vice. I have heard about money, time management, tithing, abstinence, and generosity. I've listened to thousands of sermons. But I could count on one hand the number of sermons that were a simple proclamation of the gospel of Christ.”

“I've spent most of my life perfecting the craft of living history. I have no practice at living in the present.”

“Don't talk to me about people who are nice, 'cause I've spent my whole life in ruins over people who are nice.”

“I have spent my life falling. Not the kind that Tiny's talking about. He's talking about love. I'm talking about life. In my kind of falling, there's no landing. There's only hitting the ground. Hard. Dead, or wanting to be dead. So the whole time you're falling, it's the worst feeling in the world. Because you feel you have no control over it. Because you know how it ends.”
