"You tell me how someone who comes back from the dead is going to behave... I know that's a kind of a roundabout way of talking about it. But we tend to take a great deal for granted, because you feel like you're going to live forever. It's only if you lose a friend, or maybe have a near-death experience, that many events and people in your life suddenly attain real significance. When you take into account the fact that that could have been the last time I would ever see that person or do something so mundane as go out to dinner... This is where this character, Eric Draven, is coming from. He realizes how precious each moment of his life is. Death is always on the way, but the fact that you don't know when it will arrive seems to take away from the finiteness of life. It is that terrible precision that we hate so much. But because we don't know, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps 4 and 5 times more. Perhaps not even. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps 20. And yet it all seems limitless." --Brandon Lee
"We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong." --Bono

"Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse.

"When I was a little girl my father told me that if you weren't careful you could lose everything you've ever earned in life in a split second. You have to know when to cash out. We might've been dysfunctional but we were family. There is only one conclusion to every story... We all fall down. There are three kinds of people in the world... the rich... the poor... and everyone in between. If you're wondering what's true and what isn't, fuck off, because it's none of your goddamn business! I decided to never invest too much emotion in one thing. It's always a set-up to the pain of losing them." --Domino Harvey
"Angels and Demons can't cross over onto our plane. So, instead we get what I call half-breeds. The influence peddlers. They can only whisper in our ears. But a single word can give you courage, or turn your favorite pleasure into your worst nightmare. Those with the demon's touch like those part angel, living alongside us. They call it the balance. I call it hypocritical bullshit. Heaven and hell are right here, behind every wall, every window, the world behind the world. And we're smack in the middle. Officially, I was dead for two minutes... But when you cross over, time stops. Take it from me, two minutes in hell is a lifetime." --John Constantine
"[talking to Anna about Bob Marley] He had this idea. It was kind of a virologist idea. He believed that you could cure racism and hate...

Two days later he walked out on that stage and sang. When they asked him why - He said, "The people, who were trying to make this world worse... are not taking a day off. How can I? Light up the darkness." --Dr. Robert Neville
