- Allel: And nothing that comes out of your mouth makes any sense.
- Jacob: They're all reactions! One thing begets the next. A man has a weakness, he's flawed. That flaw leads him to guilt. The guilt leads him to shame. The shame he compensates with pride and vanity. And when pride fails, despair takes over and they all lead to his destruction. It will become his fate... Something's gotta stop the flow.
- Jacob: He's convinced himself he's god, we're just reminding him he's not. It takes humility to remember who we are.
- Shelly: This has got to stop. You can't be absent all the time.
- John's Incubus: [whispers] She hated your success.
- Shelly: You have a whole other life... you are forgetting.
- John's Incubus: [whispers] You can't change that now.
- [at funeral]
- John's Incubus: You were so ashamed.
- Liev: For us, time doesn't work the same as it does for you. For me, a day is like a thousand years. And a thousand years is like a day.
