Blood transforms the warm bath water and, in it, I see weakly that this was a mistake. The razor's cut is not deep, nevertheless the blood rushes out happily in the warm water as if kin to it, the same tender substance.

That's great. Steve Coogan

Most suicide bombers began as moderates. Mosab Hassan Yousef
