"You have your five good looking girls and your five good looking guys and you see them get naked and then you see them get an arrow through the head. We’re no longer watching to see the Monster destroyed, we’re watching to see the Monster destroy. And there’s a moral queasiness there."

P.S. I read this book because Neil Gaiman told me to.

I’m need to start quoting this as often as possible.

“I’ve never dated a woman or anything like that, but I mean, I think it’s much more the person that you fall in love with – and why would you close yourself off to fifty percent of the people?”
This has pretty much been my belief for some time, especially the last part.

"In the car, the rap song has every other word beeped out
as if the small words themselves were a dangerous thing, and not
the ideas of violence and waste and ridiculous luxury
that the songs clutch in their rough embrace.
Everyone is always looking in the wrong direction,
we worry about our lovers while losing our jobs
we stress out about cancer while our children run away
we ponder the stars while burning the earth.
Lark used to say the bullet we’re running from
is almost never the one that hits us."

This bit is awesome, both on screen and in print.
“You had to pull a disappearing act on me after you gave your word. We’re in the Atlanta airport? I’m eating an ice cream cone, he says he’s going to the men’s and will be right back. The next time I saw him was yesterday, six years later.”
—Pronto by Elmore Leonard
Oh, Raylan. You’re the shit when you’ve got a gun, but you can be so gullible at times.
"‘Brains,’ he’s saying, Miss Bennet. Buh-rain-uhz. I know it because I hear the call, as well, though the plague hasn’t fully taken me yet. It’s really a rather delicious irony: It was your mind I was attracted to from the beginning. My longing’s just growing a little too literal."
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls by Steve Hockensmith
"No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee."

I once had to write an essay where I had to picture myself on death row and what my last meal and words would be the night before my execution. I quoted this Donne passage for my last words.
"Down in San Pedro
Annie takes two cigarettes
out to the back stoop.
———
The trick, she’s found, is to use that time
to sort through the difficult things,
so that a cigarette becomes like a therapist,
keeping her company while she gets it together.
With every session she feels a little better,
exhaling it all,
releasing the bad stuff with every breath,
at least the parts
that will let go."

I LIKE THE WAY YOUR BRAIN WORKS.
Lark thinks to himself there are no rules anymore
there’s only the ever constant
law of evolution
become what is or you will be
what is not.
And while you’re at it
keep on living true to
the lines of the old children’s story,
that still echo in your memory.
Go dog go.
