“Laugh whenever you can. Keeps you from killing yourself when things are bad. That and vodka.”

“Most of the bad guys in the real world don't know that they are bad guys. You don't get a flashing warning sign that you're about to damn yourself. It sneaks up on you when you aren't looking.”

“There are things you can't walk away from. Not if you want to live with yourself afterward.”

“There are bad things in the world. There's no getting away from that. But that doesn't mean nothing can be done about them. You can't abandon life just because it's scary, and just because sometimes you get hurt. ”

“There're things we keep hidden from one another. Things we hide from ourselves. Things that are kept hidden from us. And things no one knows. You always learn the damnedest things at the worst possible times.”

“If you can't stop the bad thoughts from coming to visit, at least you can make fun of them while they're hanging around.”

“Whatever you do, do it for love. If you keep to that, your path will never wander so far from the light that you can never return.”
