"All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring."

"You can’t fool people into loving you."

"Love is bullshit. Emotion is bullshit. I am a rock. A jerk. I'm an uncaring asshole and proud of it."

"It's easy to cry when you realize that everyone you love will reject you or die."

"Just for the record, she still loves you. She wouldn't bother to torture you if she didn't."

"No matter how much you love someone, you still want to have you own way."

"Almost all the time, you tell yourself you're loving somebody when you're just using them. This only looks like love."

"I thought we were a real love relationship. I did. I was very invested in love, but it was just this long long sex thing that could end at any moment because after all, it's just about getting off. Almost all the time, you tell yourself you're loving somebody when you're just using them. This only looks like love."

"Music is crucial. Beyond no way can I overstress this fact. Let's say you're southbound on the interstate, cruising alone in the middle lane, listening to AM radio. Up alongside comes a tractor trailer of logs or concrete pipe, a tie-down strap breaks, and the load dumps on top of your little sheetmetal ride. Crushed under a world of concrete, you're sandwiched like so much meat salad between layers of steel and glass.
