“You are not your job, you’re not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet.”
“You’re not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You’re the same decaying organic matter as everything else.”

“We’ve all been raised believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t.”
“Don’t you have other things to do?”
“Prove you’re alive. If you don’t claim your humanity you will become a statistic.”
“If you don’t know what you want, you end up with a lot you don’t.”
“It’s not love or anything, but I think I like you, too.”
“If I could wake up in a different place, at a different time, could I wake up as a different person?”
“Why did I cause so much pain?”
“The lower you fall, the higher you’ll fly.”

“The people you’re trying to step on, we’re everyone you depend on.”
“Reject the basic assumptions of civilisation, especially the importance of material possessions.”
“Without pain, without sacrifice we would have nothing.”
“You have to realise that someday you will die, Until you know that, you are useless.”
“A tiger can smile. A snake will say it loves you.”
“If you died right now, how would you feel about your life?”
“You always kill the one you love.”
“Maybe we should always assume the worst.”
“Put a gun to my head and paint the wall with my brains.”
“Which is worse: Hell or nothing?”

“There are a lot of things we don’t want to know about the people we love.”
“We just had a near-life experience.”
“If people think you are dying, they give you their full attention. They listen instead of just waiting for their turn to speak.”

“Stop trying to control everything and just let go. Let go.”
“The amazing miracle of death, when one second you’re walking and talking, and the next second you’re an object.”
“Only if we’re caught and punished can we be saved.”
