“Birds are the lunatics of the animal world.”

“When the people you love become animals it's awful. You're half afraid to even go near them.”

“There is no imagination in the world. A person like me is basically alone. If I want to live in the same world as other people I have to make a special effort.”

“The problem is, at a certain point you can't stop thinking even if you want to. I swear, sometimes you just wish you could go back into the dark like a primitive person. But you cant, that's the problem with evolution. Once you have a little bit of knowledge, more of it just keeps coming at you like birds around a bagel. Sometimes when I learn things, I wish I hadn't learned them.”

“The thing is, I can't love her, not in the real world. Because this would be degrading to me. To love someone who despises you, and she just might. You should see her eyes on me sometimes. Plus she's not even a mother anymore, she's just a planet with a face. Da at least has hands.”

“...not everything in your heart makes it to your mouth. A lot of it gets lost on the way.”

“If I could have one magical power it would be to get inside someone else's head, even just for a second, so that I could know what's important to other people, who they love and who they hate. You might treat certain people differently if you knew what was really in their heart.”
