“Just shut up. Shut the fuck up, you stupid, uptight, don't drink, don't smoke, don't fuck, don't do anything that might almost be interpreted as fun, sanctimonious little fucking virgin.

“Sometimes that's all you get out of life. Great shoes.”

“There's someone out there who needs you. You must live your life so that person can find you.”
