“THE BASIC CON Those who can’t find anything to live for, always invent something to die for. Then they want the rest of us to die for it, too.”

“I never wanted a too die for house, or a too die for car. I always wanted a too die for life.”

“The living are always trying to find the shortcuts to happiness in life. But look what happens when someone achieves premature success: they bloom too early and spend the rest of their lives dying....Success without struggle warps a person.”

“The kind of person who listens to our music doesn't want to live a bit and die a little and find a friend. The kind of person who listens to our music wants to live forever and die a lot and fall in love.”

“The only person on this ship who gets paid for what they do is you, Alix. The rest of us live off our trust funds and we use those funds for our humanitarian missions. I do what I do because I can’t stand to see innocent people bullied by a corrupt government. I don’t want to see a baby starve and die because some fat politician wants to work its parents into the ground for a mineral most of them can’t even pronounce. (Devyn)”

“Sometimes the dying live more fiercely and wisely than the rest of us. (146)”
