Deeds

If you haven't done anything wrong, it's because you haven't had the opportunity.

No matter how much you love someone, you still want to have your own way.

You’re like the thief who isn’t the least bit sorry he stole, but is terribly, terribly sorry he’s going to jail

So this is how a person can come to despise himself-knowing he's doing the wrong thing and not being able to stop.

The voice says, maybe you don't go to hell for the things you do. Maybe you go to hell for the things you don't do. The things you don't finish.

That was enough to drive a man to distraction, but it had its charm.

The consequences of our actions are so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed.

One acts according to one’s lights, and more than that one cannot do.

"Ya know, ma'am," he says, "ya know — that is the ex-act thing somebody always tells me about the rules... just when they figure I'm about to do the dead opposite."
