“A lot of people get so hung up on what they can't have that they don't think for a second about whether they really want it.”

“...You can only subject people to anguish who have a conscience. You can only punish people who have hopes to frustrate or attachments to sever; who worry what you think of them. You can really only punish people who are already a little bit good.”
