• When you cut human beings down to size, we're really quite simple creatures; food, shelter, warmth, light, heat and you build it up from there really until you finally go Gucci shoes or whatever it is or whatever your consumer desires are.

• I still wasn't convinced that tossing a shoe didn't mean you harbored an anger-management problem, but I did understand love now.

Everything was sharper.
