“Maybe all the schemes of the devil were nothing compared to what man could think up.”

Dragging people into photobooths? Taking a whole day to make a compilation tape? Asking people if they wanted to share your bed, just for company?

Ridiculous, at 38, to expect a song or book or film to change your life.”

When you've got that kind of wisdom and somebody else doesn't, you can always take advantage of them.”
