“So I started out for God knows where.I guess I'll know when I get there.”

“I know when I'm not wanted," joked Uncle Vlad. "Guess I'll make like under-eye cream and get the bags.”

“I guess you get all my money, I said. And I'm not even dead. I was trying for a joke, but it came out sounding macabre.Hush, he said. He was still kneeling on the floor. You know I'll always take care of you.I thought, already he's starting to patronize me. Then I thought, already you're starting to get paranoid.”

“Well, I started out down a dirty roadStarted out all aloneAnd the sun went down as I crossed the hillAnd the town lit up, the world got stillI'm learning to fly but I ain't got wingsComing down is the hardest thingWell, the good ol' days may not returnAnd the rocks might melt and the sea may burnI'm learning to fly but I ain't got wingsComing down is the hardest thingWell, some say life will beat you downBreak your heart, steal your crownSo I've started out for God knows whereI guess I'll know when I get thereI'm learning to fly around the cloudsBut what goes up must come down”

“I can hazard a guess, but I'll never know/ Why you put these walls up, I can't get through/It's as though you want to be lonely and blue.”

“I am not agnostic. I am atheist. I don’t think there is no God; I know there’s no God. I know there’s no God the same way I know many other laws in our universe. I know there’s no God and I know most of the world knows that as well. They just won’t admit it because there’s another thing they know. They know they’re going to die and it freaks them out. So most people don’t have the courage to admit there’s no God and they know it. They feel it. They try to suppress it. And if you bring it up they get angry because it freaks them out.”
