Max Payne Favorite Quotes
Max himself reflects through his journey metaphorically, making quotes that are often harsh reflections of his current reality. Other times are sarcastic observations or one liners that fit perfectly with the situation at hand. Here are some of my favorites of each game respectively.

What's Lost is Gone
“The past is a gaping hole. You try to run from it, but the more you run, the deeper, more terrible it grows behind you, its edges yawning at your heels. Your only chance is to turn around and face it. But it's like looking down into the grave of your love. Or kissing the mouth of a gun, a bullet trembling in its dark nest, ready to blow your head off.”
"Death is inevitable. Our fear of it makes us play safe, blocks out emotion. It's a losing game. Without passion you are already dead."
"The trouble with wanting something is the fear of losing it, or never getting it. The thought makes you weak."
"In a nightmare, every choice you make is a wrong one. I would wake up at night, afraid that day was a dream I'd forget"
"The genius of the hole: no matter how long you spend climbing out, you can still fall back down in an instant"
"This is love. When someone drags you from the wreckage when you have given in, ready to just lie there and die. This is love. When someone, no matter what the cost, shows you there is hope, a choice, that you can put down your gun.This is love. Love Hurts."
"Sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes, something good comes out of it. Something you know you wouldn't deserve in a million years. Something that gives you a reason to go on"
"When entertainment turns into a surreal reflection of your life, you're a lucky man if you can laugh at the joke. Luck and I weren't on speaking terms, or maybe the place was just too damn lame to be funny"

Brazil's Dirty and Broken New Mirror
"The way I see it there's two types of people, those who spend their lives trying to build a future and those who spend their lives trying to rebuild the past."
"If i survive this, thats a victory for gross incompetence"
“Do you think a pile of shit feels popular because it’s surrounded by flies?”
"I've been sitting in that bar for 3 hours... Or 5 years depending on the way you look at things..."

Make sure to add this one too at MP3:
"There it was. The soundtrack to my life. And, for a few seconds, came harmony. Finally"

The illusion comes afterwards, when you ask "Why me?" and "What if?" when you look back, see the branches like a pruned Bonsai tree, or a forked lightning.
If you had done something differently, it wouldn't be you, it would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions."
