“Don’t complain, don’t explain.”

“There was a time when I thought I loved my first wife more than life itself. But now I hate her guts. I do. How do you explain that? What happened to that love? What happened to it, is what I'd like to know. I wish someone could tell me.”

“Mel thought real love was nothing less than spiritual love. He'd said he'd spent five years in a seminary before quitting to go to medical school. He said he still looked back on those years in the seminary as the most important years of his life.”

“I am too nervous to eat pie.”

“Get in, get out. Don't linger. Go on.”

“Dreams, you know, are what you wake up from.”

“That's all we have, finally, the words, and they had better be the right ones.”
