“It is time I stepped aside for a less experienced and less able man.”

“I could step aside, Nina. I could step aside and let you be with who you're supposed to be with. If I was any less selfish... I would. But even after all of my stupid mistakes, I still think I can make you happy.''''If it's what you want, I'll step aside'', he shook his head, ''but if it's not... I'll fight fate. I'll fight Heaven, and Hell, and everything in between to keep you.”

“Death is just nature's way of making room for the less experienced.”

“The more often he feels without acting, the less he will be able ever to act, and, in the long run, the less he will be able to feel.”

“If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.”

“The tragedy of modern man is not that he knows less and less about the meaning of his own life, but that it bothers him less and less.”
