“A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist. ”
“The man was useless as tits on a bull, but he didn't deserve to die like that.”

“Why now? Why not? Live or die, a man and a woman need love. There is a need in the race. We need to share. To belong. Perhaps you will die before the year is out. But remember this: to have may be taken from you, to have had never. Far better to have tasted love before dying, than to die alone.”
“Sometimes a woman needs a man for company, no matter how useless he is.”
“I need some shut-eye," Marcus said. "All these last-minute heroics make a man sleepy.”
