“But maybe that's how it is with art. You suffer, and in the end, everyone thinks it's cool.”

“Maybe that's what we look for in the people we love, the spark of unhappiness we think we know how to extinguish.”

“Well, it's either kiss me or kill me, that's how I see it.”

“You risked your life, but what else have you ever risked? Have you risked disapproval? Have you ever risked economic security? Have you ever risked a belief? I see nothing particularly courageous about risking one's life. So you lose it, you go to your hero's heaven and everything is milk and honey 'til the end of time. Right?
