“People always ask, Why does God allow suffering? Why does He allow a child to be beaten? A woman to cry? A holocaust to happen? A good dog to die painfully? Simple truth is, He wants to see for Himself what we’ll do. He’s stood up the candle, put the devil at the wick, and now He wants to see if we blow it out or let it burn down. God is suffering’s biggest spectator.”

“Good. Unusuals can't afford to be anarchists, Zeph. Look at me - I'm a dwarf and a Jew. You're a Negro and legless. Add 'anarchist' and you've got the Trifecta of F***ed. Don't do it.”

“What did I say in that one word of six letters, sometimes only three?  I supposed I said, I don't want you to be gay.  I don't want you to be happy, and no it isn't fine that you want to be with a man.  Faggot.  Isn't that what that one word is supposed to mean?  Faggot?  One word that said I was scared.  That I didn't understand.”
