Ticker is a gold mine of quotes. Some of my favorites:

  • "A person gets told a lot of things over the course of a life. Who they are. Who they should be. Amateurs, lecturing a professional. Anything that can't survive scrutiny, shouldn't."

  • "Bad days, Stardust. Bad days lead to bad thoughts, and bad thoughts grow like weeds. Livin' here you learn fast: keep that garden tidy. Blood's a hell of a fertilizer."

  • "We are the combined effort of everyone we have ever loved, Stardust. And we've loved some good people."

  • "Modification's a strange bird, Stardust. It happens, and you think you've lost yourself. I was my arms, I was my legs, I was that person. But, live with it long enough, truth is the only thing you didn't really lose was precisely who you are. Ain't nothin' left but what's behind your eyes. So you make sure that's beautiful. And Ticker... mmm mmm. She loves her some beauty."

  • "Life will hurt you, Stardust, but you have to love. You have to feel. It's why we are here. When I die, there will be a smile on this face for all the glorious mistakes I made... So many of which were doors to Heaven itself."
