American democracy

Americans don’t know how much @$#★¢ power they have. Most of ’em think democracy means you get a choice between Coke and Pepsi.

Phantom twin brother

It, uh... It all started when I was born. That is, when I was growing up, I knew there was something different about me. Well, really, I thought there was something wrong with me. Whenever I was with other kids, I felt isolated, alone, as if I weren’t all there. But when I was alone, I felt — well, I used to look over my shoulder all the time, expecting to see someone. It was a weird sensation... like searching for your reflection in the mirror.

Understanding people

Folks aren’t so hard to figure out — you just ignore what they say and watch what they do.

Silence

Just because somebody’s quiet doesn’t mean he doesn’t have an opinion.
1527.

To live and to remember

To live is to exist within a conception of time. But to remember is to vacate the very notion of time.
