“You seem to think peace is a natural state, Siward, and conflict its interruption, but the truth is the exact opposite. Peace is what the sea looks like in a dead calm - a rare and beautiful moment - something impossible - a glimpse of perfection before the wind comes back again.

― Dunsinane

“NICK: on earth- I won't deceive you, the goods I'm offering will often grieve you.

I must confess self pity and regret and loneliness are what you'll pay me for goods I sell.
FLECK: I've known these all my life,
NICK: [cheerfully] Welcome to Hell!”
