no matter how well prepared you are for something, dying has got a way of sneaking up on you

The Rev: Your friend killed your grandfather. Her name was Sarah then. She was Lucy when she killed me. Now she’s called Audrey. And she will kill you.
Duke: No. The tattooed man is supposed to kill me.
The Rev: She doesn’t have to do it with her own hands.

as most cops will tell you, sometimes you're lucky if you can just survive

How come they know you’re police when they hook up with you. And they know you’re police when they move in. And they know you’re police when they decide to start a family with you. And all that shit is just fine until one day it ain’t no more. One day, it’s ‘You should have a regular job’ and ‘You need to be home at five o’clock’.
