MARCUS. Titus, prepare thy aged eyes to weep,
Or, if not so, thy noble heart to break.
I bring consuming sorrow to thine age.
TITUS. Will it consume me? Let me see it, then.

I break no law in returning. I only wish you to understand why my voice is of two places… and I of two names.

An abstract painting will react to you if you react to it. You get from it what you bring to it. It will meet you halfway but no further. It is alive if you are. It represents something and so do you. YOU, SIR, ARE A SPACE TOO.

“You wish. I am not your underling. I take issue with that. I demand insult accuracy. I mean, who are we even, if we’re not accurate. We’re no one, dude.”

“I don’t even really understand the other option. If you die and become young again, but your mind isn’t somehow wiped, it’s the same as staying young anyway. And if it is wiped, then… You’re basically dead, right? You might as well just become a new person.”

The memory of drifting hits him like a slap unformed— blue, amorphous, so full of longing that he staggers, trips on nothing, and ends up on his knees, dry heaving on the floor beneath the burden of a nauseous desire.

PLAYER: I extract significance from melodrama, a significance which it does not in fact contain; but occasionally, from out of this matter, there escapes a thin beam of light that, seen at the right angle, can crack shell of mortality.

The basic function of popular music is to create an environment for courting, lovemaking, and doing the dishes. It’s useful because it addresses the heart in the midst of all these activities, and it will always be useful in this very important way.

“Something is bothering you,” Newton observes, quite correctly.
“Nothing is bothering me,” Hermann replies, like an individual lacking a prefrontal cortex.

When I said:
“I have lots of theories on bodies–our bodies are meant to hold other bodies.”
I meant that we have canines for a reason.

You are my superior officer. You are also my friend. I have been, and always shall be, yours.

How did you turn out so great? Who do I thank for the man you’ve turned into? Kid, do you know how proud I am? If I don’t show how proud I am… You hold my dreams, kid, I burst at the seams ‘cause of you.

It was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together. And I knew it. I knew it the first time I touched her. It was like coming home, only to no home I’d ever known. I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew it. It

In the same way that your heart feels and your mind thinks, you, mortal beings, are the instrument by which the universe cares. If you choose to care, then the universe cares. If you don’t, it doesn’t.

Hermann had always known the man possessed these qualities—this careful study, this intense focus, this profound steadiness—layers and layers down. If he hadn’t, he wouldn’t be the scientist he is, and Hermann saw and loved the science first.

But Belphie’s parasternal heart murmur
Is hard to auscultate over the purring.

Do you trust me?
Yes.
Enough to kill for me?
Yes.
Kill with me?
Yes.
…Tell me again.

“The public turned out to be amazingly tolerant or, if you wish, indifferent ... There had never been any need of this charade to have taken place. It had proven a monstrous waste of years of my life.”

There still isn’t anything to connect this to you.
It doesn’t matter.
It wasn’t your fault.
I killed her!
It was an accident. It just happened.
Nothing just happens.

Nice spell. I think I can do better though.
