Jim Profit quotes from Profit

Profit

[voiceover] The key to real success is to take all your fears and put them in a box, and lock them away. Of course not every evil can be tied up in a neat little package, but that's the challenge.

Profit

[voiceover] We all seek that other, a soul-mate, a shadow-self with whom we can merge seamlessly, but in that coming together, we risk losing ourselves. Everything becomes a blur, and we grow afraid, unsure...even distrustful. The danger of course, is we never know who that other really is, what they want, or the lengths they'll go to to get it. In the end, it's probably best to go your own way...even though there will be times you'll long for something else.

You look like a man whose conscience is bothering him.

I thought revenge would feel good. I'm sure he deserves whatever he gets but it doesn't feel right.
