“We're all selfish. It's an age thing. We go spotty, disobedient and daft. But most of all, we go selfish”

“How difficult it is to seeThe things we loveWith all this shadow round us,This brief time we're here.”

“It's a strange kind of irony. The things that affect us most are the things we can't remember" (from Swimming Upstream).”

“All we truly know when we wake up in the morning is that we have the day in front of us to live.”

“We always know when we are awake that we cannot be dreaming even though when actually dreaming we feel all this may be real.”

“We all have control over what kind of person we are. Each word that comes out, each action that we take, defines us.”

“Listen up, Wanda. I know exactly what you don't want to be. But we're human, and we're selfish, and we don't always do the right thing. We aren't going to let you go. Deal with it.”
