“Let me tell you a few things about regret...There is no end to it. You cannot find the beginning of the chain that brought us from there to here.

“Women always put men first. That's how everything got so screwed up.”

“And I realized as I walked through the neighborhood how each house could contain a completely different reality. In a single block, there could be fifty seperate worlds. Nobody ever really knew what was going on just next door. ”
