You think if they're intelligent and all, the other person, and have a good sense of humor, that they don't give a damn whose suitcases are better, but they do. They really do."
"who wants flowers when youre dead? nobody."
"Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody."
"I'm quite illiterate, but I read a lot."
"If you had a million years to do it in, you couldn't rub out even half the "Fuck you"signs in the world. It's impossible."
