“Jokainen ihminen sepittää tarinoita maailmasta ja itsestään. Tarinat sivuavat toisiaan, mutta sopivat yhteen vain sieltä täältä, kokonaisuus jonka ne muodostavat on pelkkä sopimus. Kun kerromme itsestämme, tarvitsemme sivuhenkilöiksi toisia ihmisiä, pakotamme heidät tekemään meistä sen mikä haluamme olla. Samalla pakotamme itsemme sellaisiksi jollaisina kuvittelemme muiden meidät haluavan.”

“Jokes are great capsules of information. I think they should never be censored. They often are offensive - and we're offended by different things - but I believe deeply in what Freud wrote of their relationship to the unconscious, which is that jokes come to help us.

But I know enough to know that 45 million people plus 1…
That does not equal me and you.”

“Joku voi tietenkin sanoa: "Tiedän itse parhaiten, mikä minä olen", ja tietyssä mielessä hän on oikeassa. Hän tuntee sisäisen elämänsä paremmin kuin kukaan muu.
Mutta toiset tuntevat ulkoisen, eivätkä hekään ole väärässä. Loppujen lopuksi me olemme monta: olemme jotakin itsellemme, mutta yhtä lailla me olemme muille jotakin muuta.”

“Jolie.
That’s her name.
Jolie Dubois.
I don’t bother writing it down, because it’s already engraved on my brain.
There are claws in my chest, rearranging organs and making me new. Making me into whatever she needs me to be. I will worship her. I will find this sweet girl and protect her from any harm. She is mine to guard, to keep, to marry. To fuck.
I’ve never had much interest in females. They are merely objects that need to be avoided so I can kill the men I am contracted to execute. They are occasional, faceless tools of comfort. This one is my angel. She was sent for me. My singing blood is telling me so.”
