Charlie Kaufman: You are what you love, not what loves you. That's what I decided a long time ago.

Susan Orlean: I suppose I do have one unembarrassed passion. I want to know what it feels like to care about something passionately.

Susan Orlean: It's over. Everything's over. I did everything wrong. I want my life back. I want it back before everything got fucked up. I want to be a baby again. I want to be new. I WANT TO BE NEW.

John Laroche: Look, we're not lost.

I vow never to set foot in that ocean again. That's how much "fuck fish".
Susan Orlean: But why?
John Laroche: Done with fish.
