“I feel the way bank robbers must feel before they go out on that last job that ends up getting them all killed. That is to say, optimistic.”

“Feel, feel, I say - feel for all you're worth, and even if it half kills you, for that is the only way to live”

“Whenever I get that sad, depressed feeling, I go out and kill a policeman.”

“...I am incapable of telling you not to feel. Feel, feel, I say - feel for all you're worth, and even if it half kills you, for that is the only way to live...”

“It couldn’t last. Everyone was just killing time. But if all they did was kill time, time would end up killing them.”

“The bank - or the Company - needs - wants -insists - must have - as though the bank or the Company were a monster, with thought and feeling, which had ensnared them... The banks were machines and masters all at the same time...They breathe profits; they eat the interest on money. If they don't get it they die... It is a sad thing, but it is so. It is just so.”
