— Wait.
— What?
— I don't know. Just wait. Just wait.
— What do you want, Joel?
— I don't know. I want you to wait for... just a while.
I'm tired, boss. Tired of being on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with... to tell me where we's going to, coming from, or why. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world... every day. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head...all the time.
Our destinies have been entwined, Elizabeth, but never joined.
It's hard to take positive steps, when you've burned the bridge you got to walk across.
You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, but you do have a say in who hurts you, and I like my choices.
Trying to not hurt others is something you can’t do. People are creatures who hurt others just by existing even if they’re not aware of it. Whether you’re living or dying, you’ll always be hurting someone. Once you’re involved, you’ll hurt someone, and even by not being involved, you might be hurting someone else as well. But if a person is indifferent to you, you don't even understand that you hurt him. You just need to realize this. When a person is dear to you, you understand that you hurt him. And to cherish someone means to be ready to hurt him.
