“What could go wrong... Doing some stupid impulsive thing that caused the death of drowthers was practically a family tradition.”

“What is to be expected of them is not treachery, or physcial cowardice, but stupidity, unconscious sabotage, an infallible instinct for doing the wrong thing.”

“The worst thing you could ever ask is "What could possibly go wrong?”

“It is not enough to recognize what is right and true. One must control the impulse to do what is wrong and easy.”

“I wonder if what makes a family a family isn't doing everything right all the time but, instead, giving a second chance to the people you love who do things wrong.”

“But you can't go around changing your definition of right and wrong (or smart and stupid) just because doing the wrong thing happens to be really convenient. Sometimes it isn't easy to be sane, smart, and responsible. Sometimes it sucks. Sucks wang. Camel wang. But that doesn't turn wrong into right or stupid into smart.”
