One day my log will have something to say about this. My log saw something that night.(to Dale Cooper), S1.Ep2: Traces to Nowhere
I carry a log – yes. Is it funny to you? It is not to me. Behind all things are reasons. Reasons can even explain the absurd. Do we have the time to learn the reasons behind the human being’s varied behavior? I think not. Some take the time.S1.Ep2: Traces to Nowhere
There is a sadness in this world, for we are ignorant of many things. Yes, we are ignorant of many beautiful things – things like the truth. So sadness, in our ignorance, is very real. The tears are real.S1.Ep4: Rest in Pain
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Yet there are those who open many eyes.S1.Ep7: Realization Time
A drunken man walks in a way that is quite impossible for a sober man to imitate, and vice versa. An evil man has a way, no matter how clever – to the trained eye, his way will show itself.S1.Ep8: The Last Evening
In a dream, are all the characters really you? Different aspects of you? Do answers come in dreams?S2.Ep1: May the Giant Be with You
Balance is the key. Balance is the key to many things. Do we understand balance? The word “balance” has seven letters. Seven is difficult to balance, but not impossible if we are able to divide. There are, of course, the pros and cons of division.S2.Ep8: Drive with a Dead Girl

There is a depression after an answer is given. It was almost fun not knowing.S2.Ep9: Arbitrary Law
How many times have we heard: “it’s simple”. Nothing is simple. We live in a world where nothing is simple. Each day, just when we think we have a handle on things, suddenly some new element is introduced and everything is complicated once again.S2.Ep10: Dispute Between Brothers
Love, like blood, flows from the heart. Are blood and love related? Does a heart pump blood as it pumps love? Is love the blood of the universe?S2.Ep14: Double Play
If you have hurt someone, don’t wait another day before making things right. The world could break apart with sadness in the meantime.S2.Ep17: Wounds and Scars
When this kind of fire starts, it is very hard to put out. The tender boughs of innocence burn first, and the wind rises. And then all goodness is in jeopardy.(to Laura), Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992)
