John: All those things you said to me about Zoe, about me, about us, about all of us. You were right. There is no love, not really, you know. Most of it is just cruel and deceitful, just matter. I saw a lot of matter today. Matter all over the place. There is nothing, there’s absolutely nothing.

Alice: Listen. I did what I did to Henry Madsen because I wanted to help you. I put my liberty at risk because I couldn’t bear to see you hurt. So what I did, I did for wholly unselfish reasons. The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven. The universe isn’t evil, John. It’s just indifferent. That hasn’t changed, it can’t. But what I did for you proved something to me. Something I hadn’t believed until that moment. It’s you who’s right. There is love in the world.
