Match Point

"The man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It's scary to think so much is out of one's control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second, it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward, and you win. Or maybe it doesn't, and you lose."

"You can learn to push the guilt under the rug and go on. Otherwise, it overwhelms you."

"The innocent are sometimes slain to make way for grander schemes. You were collateral damage."

"Sophocles said, that to never have been born may be the greatest boon of all."

"It would be fitting if I were apprehended... and punished. At least there would be some small sign of justice - some small measure of hope for the possibility of meaning."

"There are no little secrets."
