Important Quotations Explained

 
1. Alvy:    “I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member.”
 
 
2. Alvy:   “Boy, if life were only like this . . .”
 
 
3. Passerby:   “It's never something you do. That's how people are. Love fades.”
 
 
4. Annie:   “Alvy, you're incapable of enjoying life, you know that? I mean you're like New York City. You're just this person. You're like this island unto yourself.”
 
 
5. Alvy:   “I thought of that old joke. This guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, 'Doc, my brother's crazy. He thinks he's a chicken.' And the doctor says, 'Well, why don't you turn him in?' And the guy says, 'I would, but I need the eggs.' Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships. They're totally irrational and crazy and absurd and . . . but I guess we keep going through it because most of us need the eggs.”
