Important Quotations Explained

 
1. Travis:   "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Well, who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well, I'm the only one here. Who the fuck do you think you're talkin' to?"
 
 
2. Travis:   "All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention. I believe that someone should become a person like other people."
 
 
3. Travis:   "Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man."
 
 
4. Wizard:   " . . . you do a thing and that's what you are . . . Get drunk, you know, do anything. 'Cause you got no choice anyway."
 
 
5. Betsy:   "'He's a prophet and a pusher, partly truth, partly fiction. A walking contradiction.'"
