“Ich habe immer geglaubt, das Leben sei eine Einladung mit Tischkärtchen. Als müsste man sich, schon aus Gründen der Höflichkeit, auf den Stuhl setzen, der einem zugewiesen wird, auch wenn es am anderen Ende des Tisches viel lebhafter zugeht.
Ich möchte Ihnen sagen: Das ist ein Irrtum. Es ist eine Einladung mit freier Platzwahl.”

“Ich dachte, dass man sich von aufgeplusterten Abschieden nicht ins Bockshorn jagen lassen darf, dass man ihnen sehr wohl von der Schippe springen kann, denn solang keiner stirbt, ist jeder Abschied verhandelbar.”

“I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.”

“Augustus Waters was a self-aggrandizing bastard. But we forgive him. We forgive him not because he had a heart as figuratively good as his literal one sucked, or because he knew more about how to hold a cigarette than any nonsmoker in history, or because he got eighteen years when he should've gotten more.'
'Seventeen,' Gus corrected.
'I'm assuming you've got some time, you interupting bastard.
'I'm telling you,' Isaac continued, 'Augustus Waters talked so much that he'd interupt you at his own funeral. And he was pretentious: Sweet Jesus Christ, that kid never took a piss without pondering the abundant metaphorical resonances of human waste production. And he was vain: I do not believe I have ever met a more physically attractive person who was more acutely aware of his own physical attractiveness.
'But I will say this: When the scientists of the future show up at my house with robot eyes and they tell me to try them on, I will tell the scientists to screw off, because I do not want to see a world without him.'
I was kind of crying by then.”
