Pay in Advance
But i knew him at a glance. He looked older than he had on the other side of the one-way glass, and there was more in his face than the years alone could account for. There's no charge for seats in an AA room but that's because you pay for them in advance.

Where Do I Go From Here
If i knew the way i'd go back home
The countryside has changed so much, i'd surely end up lost
Half-remembered names and faces so far in the past
On the other side of the bridges
That were burned once they were crossed
Where Do I Go from Here

My Life in My Hands
I like a little danger. Tame danger, controlled by me. It gives me a sense of power, i guess, to take my life in my hands and know damn well i'm not going to lose it.

Live the Questions Now
Do not now seek the answers, which would not be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.

Their Faces Show
Women are beautiful because their faces show they know they have lost something and picked up something else.

Drinks with Death
The storm was raging across the desert that night. All the barflies, tourists and wanderers sought shelter inside a little bar off Route 26. Rain whipped violently against the siding, and only a very few attempted to brave the weather and ride out that night.

Never Quite Defeated
Marlowe's type shouldn't get married. Because he is a lonely man, a poor man, a dangerous man and yet a sympathetic man, and somehow none of this goes with marriage. I think he will always have a fairly shabby office, a lonely house, a number of affairs, but no permanent connection ......... I see him always in a lonely street, in lonely rooms, puzzled but never quite defeated.

Making money ain't nothing exciting to me. You might be able to buy a little better booze than the wino on the corner. But you get sick just like the next cat and when you die you're just as graveyard dead as he is.
