“It was funny if you looked at it right quick, but it got pitiful if you thought about it awhile.”

“once in awhile you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look it right”

“You got one choice at the beginning but if you didn't choose right, things got narrow real quick.”

“I'll get right on right about you, you've got trouble right about now, you've got trouble right about now.”

“Funny thing about glass. When you broke the shit up, it got pissed and bit back.”

“You're fucked. You thought you were going to be someone, but now it's obvious you're nobody. You haven't got as much talent as you thought you had, and there was no Plan B, and you got no skills and no education, and now you're looking at forty or fifty years of nothing. Less than nothing, probably. That's pretty heavy. That's worse than having the brain thing, because what you got now will take a lot longer to kill you. You've got the choice of a slow, painful death, or a quick, merciful one.”
