(Talking about the appeal of the Terminator): "It`s fun to fantasize being a guy who can do whatever he wants. This Terminator guy is indestructible. He can be as rude as he wants. He can walk through a door, go through a plate-glass window and just get up, brush off impacts from bullets. It`s like the dark side of Superman, in a sense. I think it has a great cathartic value to people who wish they could just splinter open the door to their boss`s office, walk in, break his desk in half, grab him by the throat and throw him out the window and get away with it. Everybody has that little demon that wants to be able to do whatever it wants, the bad kid that never gets punished."

`What should be, is.` As my grandmother explained it to our family the winter she lost three fingertips to frostbite when the furnace in her little house broke and she fell and cracked a hip while trying to light it, `Accepting life`s imperfections is not the secret. The secret, dears, is to understand life has none. How could it? We`ve got nothing to compare it to. We can dream something up, of course- some pretty maybe life where fingers are very hard and indestructible- but that`s pure mischief, darlings. Fingers freeze. It`s one of the things they like to do sometimes.`

- Walter Kirn

The stream of thought flows on; but most of its segments fall into the bottomless abyss of oblivion. Of some, no memory survives the instant of their passage.

- Agnes Mattox
