E3:

The worst part about telling a lie is when someone that you love just accepts it.

You can't stay in this fucking thing just to try to make the truth not be true.

It takes a strength and a self-acceptance to be alone.

E7:

People don't want to look at the weak because it reminds them of their own weakness. But what they don't get is that when someone's struggling, it means he's strong, because the weak don't struggle. They just die.

E9:

You can't. Not by looking for it. That's why they call it falling in love. You can't fall on purpose. See, I used to be an actor, and I took a class in falling, trying to make it look like I fell. Well, I was still trying and I must have fallen over about a thousand times trying to make it look like it was an accident and I couldn't do it. So um... I quit being an actor.

Just accept the fact that love is rare and it probably won't happen to you, ever.

The world is too noisy and distracted to probably ultimately survive. Everyone needs to shut the fuck up. The answers are in the silence. Monks set themselves on fire to protest and to make this point. Just consider it.

Horace and Pete quotes

  • Leon: It's sad that it's so hard to show your feelings when you really want to.

  • Horace: You alright? What's up?

    Zach: I was charged $4.50 fro a Budweiser and that guy was charged $3. Just not sure why the discrepancy?

    Horace: He's been coming here a long time.

    Zach: So is that a privilege for just that one guy?

    Horace: Some people pay $4.50 and some people pay $3.

    Zach: Ok. How do you decide that? Is there like a list?

    Horace: If he looks like him he pays $3 and if he looks like you he pays $4.50.

    Zach: So just out and out discrimination? Are you aware how unfair and totally not okay that is?

    Horace: Here's the thing. You're getting more for your money than he is.

    Zach: How so?

    Horace: Because, well see you come in here and you make fun of the place because it's an old Brooklyn dive bar. So you and your friends get to enjoy that part of it and also you get to have a beer. But he just gets the beer. See, you're here ironically. But he's really here because he just sleeps on the corner.

    Zach: So it's like a douche tax?

    Horace: Yeah, kinda.

    Zach: Acceptable.

    Horace: Ok
