“You take what you’ve learned from this life and use it in the next. That’s karma.”
“Even though you’re bigger than me, you can’t win, ’cause you’re bad, and the good always wins over the bad.”
“Goooooood morning, Vietnam! Hey, this is not a test. This is rock and roll. Time to rock it from the delta to the DMZ. Is that me, or does that sound like an Elvis Presley movie? Viva Da Nang. Oh, viva, Da Nang.”
“We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion… O me, O life?” Answer. That you are here — that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?”
“Oh, no. To live… to live would be an awfully big adventure.”
“But oh, to be free. Not to have to go “Poof! What do you need, “Poof! What do you need, Poof! What do you need?” To be my own master. Such a thing would be greater than all the magic and all the treasures in all the world.”
“Hey, hey, I’m sorry, okay? Twenty-six years buried in the deepest darkest jungle, and I still became my father.”
“If I asked you about love, you’d probably quote me a sonnet, but you’ve never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes. Feelin’ like God put an angel on Earth just for you, who could rescue you from the depths of hell.
And you wouldn’t know what it’s like to be her angel, to have that love for her be there forever. You don’t know about real loss, ’cause that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself.”
“That’s when I realized I’m part of the problem. Not because I remind you. But because I couldn’t join you. So I left you alone. Don’t give up, okay?”
“You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you’ll win, no matter what the outcome.”
“I try to make sense of things. Which is why, I guess, I believe in destiny. There must be a reason that I am as I am. There must be.”
“You’re a good man. I know that. Even if you’ve forgotten it.”
“What do you want to be in the world? I mean the whole world. What do you want to be? Close your eyes and think about that.”
“I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel all alone.”
“Some parents, when they’re angry get along much better when they don’t live together. They don’t fight all the time, and they can become better people, and much better mummies and daddies for you. And sometimes they get back together. And sometimes they don’t, dear. And if they don’t, don’t blame yourself.
Just because they don’t love each other anymore, doesn’t mean that they don’t love you. There are all sorts of different families, Katie. But if there’s love, dear… those are the ties that bind, and you’ll have a family in your heart, forever. All my love to you, poppet, you’re going to be all right… bye-bye.”
