These are some famous quotes from the film "Taxi Driver" about the daily life of an unstable man who works as nighttime taxi driver.

	Each night when I return the cab to the garage, I have to clean the cum off the back seat. Some nights, I clean off the blood.
	Twelve hours of work and I still can't sleep. Damn. Days go on and on. They don't end.
	All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention. I believe that someone should become a person like other people.
	I first saw her at Palantine Campaign headquarters at 63rd and Broadway. She was wearing a white dress. She appeared like an angel. Out of this filthy mess, she is alone. They... cannot... touch... her.
	Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man.
	May 26th. Four o'clock p.m. I took Betsy to Charles Coffee Shop on Columbus Circle. I had black coffee and apple pie with a slice of melted yellow cheese. I think that was a good selection. Betsy had coffee and a fruit salad dish. She could have had anything she wanted.
	I called Betsy again at her office and she said maybe we'd go to a movie together after she gets off work tomorrow. That's my day off. At first she hesitated but I called her again and then she agreed. Betsy, Betsy. Oh no, Betsy what? I forgot to ask her last name again. Damn. I got to remember stuff like that.
	I tried several times to call her, but after the first call, she wouldn't come to the phone any longer. I also sent flowers but with no luck. The smell of the flowers only made me sicker. The headaches got worse. I think I got stomach cancer. I shouldn't complain though. You're only as healthy, you're only as healthy as you feel. You're only as...healthy...as...you...feel.
	I realize now how much she's just like the others - cold and distant, and many people are like that. Women for sure. They're like a union.
	Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man. June 8th. My life has taken another turn again. The days can go on with regularity over and over, one day indistinguishable from the next. A long continuous chain. Then suddenly, there is a change.
	The idea had been growing in my brain for some time. True force. All the king's men cannot put it back together again.
	Dear Iris: This money should be used for your trip. By the time you read this, I will be dead. Travis.
	Now I see it clearly. My whole life is pointed in one direction. I see that now. There never has been any choice for me.
	We meet at a crossroads in history. No longer will the wrong roads be taken.
