And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can’t ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one.

Douglas Coupland

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility is being superior to your former self.

Ernest Hemingway

There are times when I... I look at people and I see nothing worth liking. I want to earn enough money so I can get away from everyone.

Daniel Plainview, in There Will Be Blood (2007)
