Max Payne quotes that I take cold showers to 🥶

I could only see a small picture of what was going on. Like looking in a mirror and, for a second, seeing what everyone else sees; 

A bad caricature of a better man. 

“Memories come in waves. Tonight, I'm drowning.”

“The way I see it, there's only two types of people; those who spend their lives trying to build a future, and those who spend their lives trying to rebuild the past.”

“There are no choices. Nothing but a straight line. The illusion comes afterwords, when you ask 'Why me?' and 'What if?'. When you look back, see the branches, like a pruned bonsai tree, or a forked lightning. If you had done something differently, it wouldn't be you, it would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions.” 

“Dreams have a nasty habit of going bad when you're not looking.”

“The trouble with wanting something...is the fear of losing it or never getting it. The thought makes you weak.”

“Einstein was right. Time Is relative to the observer...when you're looking down the barrel of a gun, time slows down. Your whole life flashes by, heartbreak and scars. Stay with it, and you can live a lifetime in that split second.”

“There was a blind spot in my head...a bullet-shaped hole where the answer should be. Call it denial. I wanted to dig inside my skull and scrape out the pain.”

“As surely as the bullet rips through...the victim's flesh, organ and bone, it shatters the image of the man who pulls the trigger.”
