Quotes from Alvy Singer：
There's an old joke. Two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort. One says, "The food at this place is really terrible. " The other says, "I know, and such small portions. " That's essentially how I feel about life: full of loneliness, misery, suffering and unhappiness and it's all over much too quickly.
I feel that life is divided up into the horrible and the miserable. Those are the two categories. The horrible would be like terminal cases and blind people, cripples. I don't know how they get through life. It's amazing to me. And the miserable is everyone else. So when you go through life, be thankful that you're miserable. You're very lucky to be miserable.
Even as a kid, I went for the wrong women. I think that's my problem. When my mother took me to see Snow White...everyone fell in love with Snow White, and I fell for the wicked queen.
It was great seeing Annie again. I realize what a terrific person she was...and how much fun it was just knowing her. And I thought of that old joke. This guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, my brother's crazy. He thinks he's a chicken. " The doctor says, "Why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs. " Well, I guess that's, now, how I feel about relationships. They're totally irrational, crazy and absurd. But I guess we keep going through it...because most of us need the eggs.
In the event of war, I'm a hostage.
I don't want to live in a city...where the only cultural advantage is you can make a right turn on a red light.

Alvy, what is so fascinating...about a group of pituitary cases trying to stuff a ball through a hoop? What is fascinating is that it's physical. That's one thing about intellectuals: They've proved you can be brilliant and have no idea what's going on. But, on the other hand, the body doesn't lie as we now know.
- Jesus, you don't want it to be like we're married, do you?
- How is it any different?
- Because you keep your own apartment. It's there. We don't have to go to it, deal with it...but it's like a free-floating life raft that we know that we're not married.
I have to go now, Duane, because I'm due back on the planet Earth.
