Do you know why the leaves change colour?... Before a tree sheds a leaf it pumps it full of all the poison it can't rid itself of otherwise. That red there--that's a man's skin blotching with burst veins after an assassin spikes his last meal with roto-weed. The poison spreading through him before he dies.
Take a rest and the world catches up with you. Lesson in life--keep moving.
If you must run, have something to run toward, so it feels less like cowardice.
You're a Good Little Slave
It's an irony of our times that men seeking peace must make war.
I may be running out of options, but running out isn't an option.
There is something brittle in me that will break before it bends. Perhaps if the [the enemy] had brought a smaller army I might have had the sense to run. But he overdid it.
We’re built of contradictions, all of us. It’s those opposing forces that give us strength, like an arch, each block pressing the next. Give me a man whose parts are all aligned in agreement and I’ll show you madness. We walk a narrow path, insanity to each side. A man without contradictions to balance him will soon veer off.
I think maybe we die every day. Maybe we're born new each dawn, a little changed, a little further on our own road. When enough days stand between you and the person you were, you're strangers. Maybe that's what growing up is. Maybe I have grown up.
I've always felt that the placement of a man's testicles is an eloquent argument against intelligent design.
Cowards make the best torturers. Cowards understand fear and they can use it
You soon learn there’s no elegance or dignity in death if you spend time in the castle kitchens. You learn how ugly it is, and how good it tastes.
The biggest lies we save for ourselves.
There’s something brittle in me that will break before it bends.
