[edit]- One day, when I am a braver man, I will tell her these things, and then I will look her in the eye tell her I love her and ask her to be only mine. But until that day, we're just friends.
- Already Dead, Character: Joe Pitt (narration)
- Women. You tell me they're not all witches, and I'll tell you you haven't been paying attention.
- Every Last Drop, Character: Joe Pitt (narration)
- There’s a worm at the heart of the world, eating itself. Did you know that? It’s true. And with each bite it does itself injury. Kills itself a little more. Digests another mouthful of its own intestine. Its howls are muffled by its body. But, being as it’s at the heart of the world, people still hear it. They get driven mad from listening to the damn thing eat itself. They want to make it stop so they won’t have to hear it anymore. And the way you kill what’s at the heart of the world is, you kill the world. Tell me you don’t know the people I’m talking about.
- My Dead Body, Character: Joe Pitt (narration)
- If I saw something once that I can't explain, that doesn't make them real. And if a trick of the dark gave me a chill, that doesn't make them real. And if a madman says what's at the core of us all is a senseless, flapping quiver of black shade, that's just one more reason not to believe.
- My Dead Body, Character: Joe Pitt (narration)
- A gun and a smoke. Ask for more, you're a greedy bastard.
