“I don't get nearly enough credit in life for the things I manage not to say.”

“I don't need poetry, prema. I just need to get near enough to touch you.”

“I know I chatter on far too much... but if you only knew how many things I want to say and don't. Give me SOME credit.”

“They don't take the Bible as a general thing, sailors don't; though I will say that I never saw the man at sea who didn't give it the credit of being an uncommon good yarn.("Kentucky's Ghost")”

“If you show up late [for anger management], you don't get credit for the class, which made that car ride even more of a test of your temper. Being late was great-you could leave if you wanted to, but that wasn't going to help you at all. I was late a few times and I always stayed, hoping to get credit for good behavior. I never did, and that made me really fucking angry. Thank God I was learning how to deal with that.”

“You should know me well enough by now to know I don't ask for things I don't think I can get.”
