"Friends are like the stars that glow in the sky... you don't always see them, but you know they're always there overhead, and even when it's cloudy, snowy or stormy, even when the power goes out and you're trapped in darkness, they'll always find a way to shine through to you."

I don't know, said Alecto, "but ordinary people like a show, especially when it's a disturbing one. They enjoy seeing misery— probably because it allows them to pretend that they themselves are not so miserable, too. Also, they would probably find out about you, how you know about Personifications, how you saw the films— they would put us in cages and throw peanuts at us, I guess." All joking aside, Alecto.—"Who is joking, Mandy Valems?"

Everything these days, even a superior medium like film photography with an extensively vivid history and an iconic meaning, is becoming disposable in this age."
"You're such a great liar when you lie to yourself."
"Directing a funeral isn't about death at all. Funerals are for the living, not the dead."
"I might be the hazardous waste site that polluted it, but Cape Breton Island is still my home."
"Most people are as happy as other people decide they should be."
"Some people spend their whole lives in a fantasy world, and that's not a good thing!"
