Quotes 

  • Paul : The imagination. It's there to sort out your nightmare, to show you the exit from the maze of your nightmare, to transform the nightmare into dreams, that become your bedrock. If we do not listen to that voice, it dies, it shrivels, it vanishes. The imagination is not our escape. On the contrary, the imagination is the place we are all trying to get to.

  • Paul : I believe the imagination is the passport that we create to help take us into the real world. I believe the imagination is merely another phrase for what is most uniquely us. Jung says, "The greatest sin is to be unconscious."

  • Paul : It is the worst kind of yellowness to be so scared of yourself that you put blindfolds on rather than deal with yourself. To face ourselves - that's the hard thing. The imagination - that's God's gift, to make the act of self-examination bearable.

  • Ouisa Kittredge : There is so much you don't know. You are so smart and so stupid.

    Paul : I'll be treated with care if you take me to the police. If they don't know you're special, they kill you.

    Ouisa Kittredge : Oh, I don't think they kill you.

    Paul : Mrs. Louisa Kittredge, I am black.

    Ouisa Kittredge : I will deliver you to them with kindness and affection.

  • Paul : You're going to wake up one day, and the temporary job you picked up just to stay alive is going to be your full-time life

  • Paul : Every moment in life is a learning experience. Or what good is it, right?

  • Paul : This world has been so heavy with all the right-to-lifers - "protect the lives of the unborn"; constitutional amendments - "when does life begin?"; or the converse, the end of life: the right to die. Why is life at this point in the twentieth century so focused upon the very beginning of life and the very end of life? What about the 80 years we have to live between those two inexorable bookends?

  • Paul : Always remember the wine from the even numbered years is superior to the wine from the odd numbered years.

  • [last lines] 

    Paul : The canvas... the canvas is painted on both sides.

  • Paul : I was wondering if I could fuck you.

    Rick : Man, I don't do things like that.

    Paul : That's what makes it so nice. You don't.

  • Paul : Did you see Donald Barthelme's obituary? He said that collage was the art form of the 20th century.

    Ouisa Kittredge : Everything is somebody else's.

    Paul : Not your children. Not your life.

    Ouisa Kittredge : No, you got me there. That is mine. That is nobody else's.

    Paul : You don't sound happy.

    Ouisa Kittredge : There is so much you don't know. You are so smart and so stupid.

  • Paul : You watch. It gives me a thrill to be looked at.

  • Paul : The aura around Salinger's book - which, perhaps, should be read by everyone but young men - is this. It mirrors like a fun-house mirror, and amplifies like a distorted speaker one of the great tragedies of our times - the death of the imagination.

  • Paul : Why has imagination become a synonym for style? I believe the imagination is the passport that we create to help take us into the real world. I believe the imagination is merely another phrase for what is most uniquely us.

  • Paul : The imagination has been so debased that imagination... being imaginative, rather than being the linchpin of our existence, now stands as a synonym for something outside ourselves. Like science fiction. Or some new use for tangerine slices on raw pork chops - "What an imaginative summer recipe." And Star Wars - "so imaginative". And Star Trek - "so imaginative". And Lord of the Rings, all those dwarves - "so imaginative". The imagination has moved out of the realm of being our link, our most personal link, with our inner lives and the world outside that world, this world we share.
