It was always up to you.”

“God doesn’t need to punish us. He just grants us a long enough life to punish ourselves.”

“The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it's as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues.”
