“Neutrality may be useful, but it's useful like eunuchs are useful. Once you cut off their balls they grow big and strong, but you can never be sure if they will serve the harem or the master.”

“If you care about something enough, it’s going to make you cry. But you have to use it. Use your tears. Use your pain. Use your fear. Get mad. Arnold, get mad.”

“...it's like this white-Indian thing has gotten out of control. And the thing with the blacks and the Mexicans. Everybody blaming everybody...I don't know what happened. I can't explain it all. Just look around at the world. Look at this country. Things just aren't like they used to be.''Son, things have never been like what you think they used to be.”

“I remember when people used to think I was smart.I remember when people used to think my brain was useful.Damaged by water, sure. And ready to seizure at any moment. But still useful, and maybe even a little bit beautiful and sacred and magical.”

“I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off.”

“ I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'"- You use it when you are trying to explain yourself. For example, if someone was wearing a smelly shirt and you said, "Hey, that's a smelly shirt and they gave you a look, like, hey what are you talking about. Then you could say, "I'm not saying it stinks super bad, like it is hurting my nose, or I can hardly breathe when I stand even kind of close to you, or it might even be an ugly shirt, but my eyes are watering so bad because of the stench that I can't tell if it just smells super bad or if it is ugly too…I'm just saying, you might want to change you shirt before someone else smells it. To use the quote, you could shorten your reply by saying, "I'm not saying, I'm just saying you might want to change your shirt before someone else smells it. Just trying to be a friend.”

“What they had was rare, imperfect and beautiful and scary all at once. It was hard to say those things out loud and know the right words to use. But that was okay. Because when two people found each other, two people who were meant to be, words didn't even matter anymore. They just knew. And that was the luckiest thing of all.”
