“Why bother with other people's worlds made of words? was his philosophy.”
“...why bother remembering a past that cannot be made into a present?”
“This is why I don't speak sooner. Other people, they talk, talk, talk until words mean nothing. There is no truth.' He pointed to his chest. 'I keep truth here. Not in other people's ears.'―The Night Butcher”
“People have the right to call themselves whatever they like. That doesn't bother me. It's other people doing the calling that bothers me.”
“Why not? Why not anything? If God ain’t a God of why nots, than I say ‘Why bother,’ and I don’t think that’s takin his name in vain, I think it’s tellin the truth about what people need.”
“Silence made space for other people's words, which was important for those who needed to be listened to.”
