“Some things don’t mix. Some things don’t mix at all, but sometimes in life you have to take the risk.”

“There are some friends you don’t risk for your own peace of mind. Some things… at the time it wasn’t worth the risk of losing him.”

“I’m all mixed up inside. It’s like—I don’t know—like an ignition of some kind. one minute, I’m fine, and the next I’m losing it.”

“Love and honesty don’t mix.”

“People are not two-thirds one thing and the remainder something else. Temperament, personality, or outlook don’t divide quite like that. The bits don’t separate clearly. You end up a funny homogeneous mixture. This is something that will become more common in the latter part of the century—people with mixed cultural backgrounds, and mixed racial backgrounds. That’s the way the world is going.”

“I don’t have a blue-collar job. It’s more of a green collar, because of all the yellow sweat stains mixing in.”
