"I can’t think of anything more disheartening than living a life without a clear purpose."

"...and there you have it, another body on the floor surrounded by things that don't mean much to anyone except to the one who can't take any of them along."

"All alone! Whether you like it or not, alone is something you'll be quite a lot!"
