One of Sean's favorite quotes is:""There is nothing in the world so damaged that it cannot be repaired by the hand of almighty God. I encourage you to know this, because without this certainty we should all of us be mad."
"My soul is prepared. How is yours?"
"Some flies are too awesome for the wall."
"Just because a person uses a few lines to lighten a subject doesn't mean the subject is taken lightly, does it?"
"Another time, another place. Two other people. It could have been magniflorious."
"Even if that guy was charming and funny I still wouldn't like him."
"And now you're going to die wearing that stupid little hat. How does it feel?"
"Are you texting us right now? Because we're the ones talking to you."
"None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me!"
"I know, but it's like my father used to say, 'When I was a child I thought as a child and spoke as a child, but when I became a man I took that child out back and had him shot.'"
"There comes a time in every friendship when you have to say, 'I never liked you, get lost!'"
"Now that answers about a dozen questions. If only I knew what they were."
"You see, Bob, I'm not lazy. It's that I just don't care."
"Artificiality," he was in the habit of saying, "is a fundamental in all women with whom one falls in love..."
"A pint can't hold a quart, Mr. Pizer. If it holds a pint it's doing the best it can."
"That of course is the advantage of being a pessimist; a pessimist gets nothing but pleasant surprises, an optimist nothing but unpleasant."
"Whattaya mean illiterate?! My father and mother were married right here in the city hall!"
"Profanity is the crutch of the inarticulate."
"I like animals, I really do, but some animals are just meant to be eaten."
"Sometimes people leave and it's not your fault. They just do."
"It's like a jigsaw. Doesn't take away from the rest of the pattern just because you're missing a corner."
"You were tied to a stake in the middle of a field. Even the Romans saved that for special occasions."
"Acknowledge you heard me."
"Even I'm not reading. I had a Kindle but I dropped it in the tub."
"You have your fans, I have mine. Someday your fans are going to work for my fans."
"We look like a bunch of idiots who just met each other at a thrift store."
"In a couple days you'll have a wonderful breakdown."
"This is not Metropolis. Putting on a pair of glasses is not a disguise."
"Did you know that cats can make one thousand different sounds and dogs can only make ten? Cats, man. Not to be trusted."
"You know, they say mental illness is hereditary. I've accepted my break from reality. How about you?"
"You can't save the world. All you'll end up with is a messiah complex and a lot of enemies."
"I thought it was an act of kindness. Now that I'm older I know it was just an act."
"What exactly did I do this time? Did I swat at a fly with too much force?"
"Like I told my last wife, honey I never drive faster than I can see, besides that it's all in the reflexes."
"Is this gonna get ugly now? I hope not, 'cause I thought what we were here, racial differences notwithstanding, was just a couple of old friends..."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. I'm a reasonable guy, but I've just experienced some very unreasonable things."
"Shut up, Mr. Burton, you were not brought upon this world to 'get it.'"
"Would you stop rubbing your body up against mine because I can't concentrate when you do that."
"It's okay, it's okay. Everybody relax. I'm here."
"Uh oh. You know what stops fights? Pudding."
"Well, Shirley, since you have clearly failed to grasp the central, insipid metaphor of those Twilight books you devour, let me explain it to you. Men are monsters who crave young flesh. The end!"
"Brothers don't shake hands. Brothers gotta hug!"
"Stalker? Not a stalker. Would a stalker go to her house in the middle of the night to read her poetry?"
"You guys know what's a funny word? Pickleweasel!"
"We all have different pasts but we share the same future."
"The prettier the bait the better ...Expand for more
the catch."
"That's an old saying I just made up."
"Thank you both... and may I say that, together, you make a wonderful person."
"Everyone thinks their dreams are special. Nobody else cares."
"You never get to fix the past. All you can do is get as far away from it as possible."
"Define irony. A bunch of idiots dancing on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash."
"You gotta hand it to the Japanese. And not just because they invented the Chinese."
"You don't respect the job enough to dress properly for it."
"I respect it enough to do it."
"Good idea today. Bad idea for the rest of your life."
"You know me, Mark, kid gloves, but made from real kids."
"Did you come to insult me in a different time zone?"
"It is destiny my love. Destiny and chicken."
"Does marijuana make people work faster? I thought it made them just custom paint their vans and solve mysteries."
"He said that sometimes what we wake up inside can't be put back to sleep. I wonder if he was right."
"There is a natural order, the way things are meant to be, an order that says that the good guys always win, that you die when it's your time or have it coming, that the ending is always happy if only for someone else."
"No one incident makes anyone what they are."
"Failure is a part of life--the most important part. It's the part that teaches us things. And it's the part that hurts."
"Your story, it's not boring and ordinary, by the way. We just get the one life, you know, just one. You can't live someone else's or think it's more important just because it's more dramatic. What happens matters. Maybe only to us. But it matters."
"Um, sanctioned like dead?"
"No, sanctioned as in we each get a puppy."

H: âYep, Iâm gonna need a beer too.â
"We've never celebrated our anniversary. By the time we got to the first one we knew there was nothing to celebrate."
"Isn't it awful when one's friends fall on hard times? One simply has to drop them!"
"Hey gang. We got firearms, and we got snacks."
"Don't be ridiculous! You were abducted, of course you need crêpes."
"Do not look directly at the Jesus!"
"My dad's gonna kill me, and using Chum as an excuse hasn't worked since I was, like, 10."
"Watson, come at once if convenient. If inconvenient, come all the same."
"Watson, all this clean air is going to kill me."
"You AIRBRUSHED her?!"
"Not everyone with scars grows up to be a monster."
"That is a heck of a story to tell a kid! Wasn't there anything about a bunny or a train with good self-esteem or anything?"
"He who would pun would pick a pocket."
"Every day you become more and more like background music."
"Organic vegetables chock full of antidepressants."
"Why aren't you afraid?"
"I'm sorry. Do I look like a man of courage to you?"
"My girlfriend the anarchist."
"If only," she said.
"If only you were an anarchist?"
"If only reality made anarchy a reasonable approach."
"Hi Heather. My name is Michael.
"Is this a new one? Do you like music videos?
"You know, sometimes the lights and colors act like musical notes. See how the color gets brighter as the beat gets louder?
"You can almost feel the music on your face, can't you? And on your chest.
"And the louder the music gets the brighter the colors get until they merge...into...one. One great white light.
"It's almost difficult to watch, isn't it? Difficult to keep your eyes open? Maybe you should close your eyes. Just for a moment. Let them close. You'll feel better.
"Don't fight it. Just close your eyes."
......
"That's much better, isn't it?"
"Now tell me, Heather, what do you see with your eyes closed?
"Like stars in the night sky? Millions and millions of stars stretching away to infinity.
"Travel through them. Past them. Beyond them. Now faster, and faster, and faster.
"And now you see one very bright star ahead of you. The most beautiful star you have ever seen.
"And it comes closer and closer. You feel happier and happier. The light covers you up, swallows you. Makes you feel safe and warm.
"And now you pass through the light to the other side, to the place where you lost your voice..."".
