The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
"Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them." : 12

"The air will always be too filled with something. Your body to sore or tired. Your
father too drunk. Your wife too cold. You will always have some excuse not to life your life." : 42
"Really, there is no wrong. Not in our minds. Our own reality. You can never set off to do the wrong thing. You can never say the wrong thing. In your own mind, you are always right.

If we can forgive what we've done to others...
If we cn leave all our stories behind. Our being villains or victims. Only then can we maybe rescue the world.
But we still sit here, waiting to be saved. While we're still victims, hoping to be discovered while we suffer." : 383
Boston Legal
Denny Crane:
“First rule of thumb when practicing law, always promise the client millions. It’s good for business.”
“What’s the point in life? You don’t ask, that’s the point.”
“The only thing to be scared of is tomorrow.
I don’t live for tomorrow, never saw the fun in it.”
“Judge you are a greedy, sniveling, little wimp. But to show you there are no hard feelings, I’m going to sleep with your wife.”
Alan Shore:
"Sometimes words are all I have to feel apart of the world"
"If I didn't have words I would be utterly alone"
"Words are my friends"
Alan Shore: everyday you amaze me with your inexhaustible ability to just live
Denny Crane: it's either that or die
Denny Crane: You're one of those environmental lawyers?
Peter Barrett: Is there something wrong with that?
Denny Crane: They're evildoers. Yesterday it's a tree, today it's a salmon, tomorrow it's, "Let's not dig up Alaska for oil because it's too pretty." Let me tell you something, I came out here to enjoy nature, don't talk to me about the environment.
Alan Shore: All reality, none of it scripted.
Alan Shore: Let me tell me two things about myself. I too am a lawyer, I can be painfully vindictive, and I do not play fair.
Lester Tremont: That's three things.
Alan Shore: See? Not playing fair already. And I'm just getting started.
Waking Life
these are all from various characters, since they don't have names it's pretty much useless to say "guy with 'fro" if you haven't seen the movie.
"They say that dreams are only real as long as they last. Couldn't you say the same thing about life?"
"On really romantic evenings of self, I go salsa dancing with my confusion."
"There's only one instant, and it's right now. And it's eternity."
"I mean, I'm not saying that you don't know what you're talking about, but I don't know what you're talking about."
"When it was over, all I could think about was how this entire notion of oneself, what we are, is just this logical structure, a place to momentarily house all the abstractions. It was a time to become conscious, to give form and coherence to the mystery, and I had been a part of that. It was a gift. Life was raging all around me and every moment was magical. I loved all the people, dealing with all the contradictory impulses - that's what I loved the most, connecting with the people. Looking back, that's all that really mattered."
"The trick is to combine your waking rational abilities with the infinite possibilities of your dreams. Because, if you can do that, you can do anything."
"Dream is destiny."
"The worst mistake that you can make is to think you're alive when really you're asleep in life's waiting room."
"In short, I think the message here is that we shouuld never write ourselves off or see eachother as a victim of various forces. It's always our descision who we are."
Dead Like Me
"We lead our lives, and when they end, sometimes we leave a little of ourselves behind. Sometimes we leave money, a painting, sometimes we leave a kind word. And sometimes, we leave an empty space."
"I'd say I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not. I excel at not giving a shit. Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation beget disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C Equals A, or whatever. I also don't have a lot of interest in being a good person or a bad person. From what I can tell, either way, you're screwed. Bad people are punished by society's laws, and good people are punished by Murphy's Law. So you see my dilemma."
"Life sucks, and then you die. And then it still sucks."
George: You really care how it's going with me?
Rube: Sure. You make my face look like this and concerned words come out.
George: So, my whole life, everything, all I get to keep are thoughts and memories?
Rube: That's all we ever have peanut.
"I don't know exactly what makes people cross over. I mean, souls. I think they see light where others cannot. I think they see a chance to become something else. Someone else."
"I don't want to fit in, I just don't want to stand out."
"I'm sorry for your loss. The things in life you won't do... The people you won't know and who won't know you... But there's this. This life. And you are loved. Drink up."
Killing Yourself to Live: 85% a True Story
I love the way music inside a car makes you feel invisible; if you play the stereo at maximum volume,
it's almost like other people can't see into your vehicle. It tints your windows, somehow.
"When you snort cocain you consciencly allow yourself to become foolish in the hope of seeming cool - that's the worst choice any smart person can make. This is why I am not a cocain person."
"there is something sickingly attractive about being in a bad relationship, you start feeding off of the unhappiness, it becomes darkly interesting."
"I tell you what's really ridiculous. Going into a bookstore and there's all these books about yourself. In a way, it feels like you're already dead." : Thom Yorke
"I don't care. We're all tourists sort of. LIfe is tourism, sort of. As far as I'm concerned, the dinosaurs still hold the lease on this godforsaken rock." : 4
"Still, the death of Spungen intrigues me; Sid and Nancy's relationship forever illustrates the worst part of being in love with anyone, whihc is that people in love can't be reasoned with" : 5
"And I realize those are obscure fucking references, but some people demand obscuity" : 44
"And how that whole idea sort of addresses the concept of art as a way to understand death, not unlike the manner in which are is often used as a prism for understanding life?" : 51
"Artists who believe they have any control over the interpretation of their work are completely fooling themselves" : 58
" I know it's pathetic to enjoy the notion of your friends calling eachother to discuss your untimely demise, but I love it." : 66
"When you start thinking about what your life was like ten years ago - and not in general terms, but in highly specific detail - it's disturbing to realize how certain elements f your being are completely dead. They die long before you do." : 131
"Nobody can be the Beatles so don't even try." : 107
"Nobody can control anything really." : 144
"Sometimes your fiction is someone else's fact." : 167

Perks of Being a Wallflower
And I think they knew. Nothing specific really. They just knew. And I think that's all you can ever ask from a friend.
But because friends leave, people change, and life doesnt stop for anybody.
I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come form, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.
I am very interested and fascinated by how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other.
