Look around you Monica, look at all of these women stuck in here. They’d give anything to be in your shoes today. Look at the Julies. Julie J, she’s lost her three kids to that bastard husband. Zandra, you’ve seen the hell she’s been through—beaten up, dumped by her fiancé, what a great start for a baby. Denny, she’s had her whole life wasted; she’ll be in and out of here forever, and me Monica. Do you know what it feels like to have to face another ten years of this? But we all struggle along trying to make the best of things, and when someone like you comes along and says that they’d rather be dead than free? I’m sorry, but everyone who gets out of here gets out for all of us.

"There are not enough adjectives in the English language to describe how wrong you are."

[Paint the Sky]

Be not afeard. The isle is full of noises,
Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight, and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears; and sometimes voices,
That, if I then had wak'd after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again; and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me, that, when I wak'd,
I cried to dream again.

Caliban - The Tempest

The only reality to me is this. ~The Age of Innocence

Her face looked lustreless and almost ugly, and he had never loved it as he did at that minute. ~The Age of Innocence

Something he knew he had missed: the flower of life. But he thought of it now as a thing so unattainable and improbable that to have repined would have been like despairing because one had not drawn the first prize in a lottery. There were a hundred million tickets in his lottery, and there was only one prize; the chances had been too decidedly against him. ~The Age of Innocence

I wonder—the thing one’s so certain of in advance: can it ever make one’s heart beat as wildly? ~The Age of Innocence

He had to deal all at once with the packed regrets and stifled memories of an inarticulate lifetime. ~The Age of Innocence

You must be the change you want to see in the world. ~Ghandi

Woody Allen on death and afterlife and the like:

I don't believe in an afterlife, although I am bringing a change of underwear.

It is impossible to experience one's own death objectively and still carry a tune.

The key is, to not think of death as an end, but as more of a very effective way to cut down on your expenses.

The chief problem about death, incidentally, is the fear that there may be no afterlife -- a depressing thought, particularly for those who have bothered to shave. Also, there is the fear that there is an afterlife but no one will know where it's being held.

The lion and the calf shall lie down together but the calf won't get much sleep.

What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.

You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird...

“I had a gay kid say to me the other day, 'Men and women on death row can marry people on the outside. They're allowed to get married. And gays want the same rights as people on death row.'

I really did not expect THAT line, you know...This was my reaction (in that order):
