What can we ever really know about another person anyway!
They have their own needs and wants!
Their own passionate and perverse dreams!
Falling in love is like sticking an ice pick in your forehead ...
But we keep doing it!
We hurl ourselves into the cauldron of passion!
The bottomless pit of desire ...
--also from "Simple Man" by Hal Hartly

When people are in love, they do all sorts of cracy things.
They get jealous, they lie, they cheat.
They kill themselves.
They kill each other.

It deadens the inner core of my being.

A family's like a gun.
You point it in the wrong direction, you're gonna kill somebody.

Matthew: What mistake is that?
Jean: Men!
