1 " It seems to happen sudden—a fighter gets good. He gets easy and graceful. He learns how to save himself—no energy wasted... he slips and slides— he travels with the punch. . . . Oh, sure, I like the way you're shaping up. "
― Clifford Odets , Golden Boy
2 " But I did it! That's the thing—I did it! What will my father say when he hears I murdered a man? Lorna, I see what I did. I murdered myself, too! I've been running around in circles. Now I'm smashed! "
3 " What do you want from me? Revenge? Sorry—we're all out of revenge today! "
4 " You 're too sufficient by yourself...too inside yourself "
5 " I feel like the wrath of God. You like that boy, don't you? I love him, Tom. "
6 " You make me feel too human, Joe. All I want is peace and quiet, not love. I'm a tired old lady, Joe, and I don't mind being what you call "half dead." In fact it's what I like. The twice I was in love I took an awful beating and I don't want it again! I want you to stop it! Don't devil me, Joe. I beg you, don't devil me... "
7 " You are only lost if you knew where you were going. "
