being-yourself
Be yourself, until you bleed.
revenge mean thinking
I think Louisville will be fired up for this game. They might be in revenge mode. But, this time of the year records, don't mean much. Anything can happen.
running brain down-and
It does no good to run. And it does no good to hide. But I know what it's like. Your brain shuts down, and you follow your instincts. Or, at least, you.
lying father pride
They used to call the devil the father of lies. But for someone whose sin is meant to be pride, you'd think that lying would leave something of a sour taste. So my theory is that when the devil wants to get something out of you, he doesn't lie at all. He tells you the exact, literal truth. And he lets you find your own way to hell.
monsters shows
We make our own monsters, then fear them for what they show us about ourselves.
respectful social stance
Human beings take social stances, and if you’re respectful of all human beings, you have to decide what you’re going to do and why you’re going to do it.
team native-american names
I know that if a team had a derogatory name for African Americans, I would help those who helped extinguish that name. I have quite a few friends who are Native Americans. And even if I didn’t have Native American friends, the name of the team is disrespectful.
book pages world
The world is a book. Some words stand out from the page.
kids dark night
Happy Families. What's that all about, eh? A bloody busted flush is what it is. You surround yourself with other people so the night doesn't seem quite so dark. Shout down the sound of the wind with arguments about whose turn it is to wash the dishes. Best not to kid yourself. Best not to give any hostages to fortune. You're on your own in the end. Always. Where else would you want to be?
bird enemy hiding
Words are the birds that break cover and show your enemy where you're hiding.
holiday
It's not a holiday until you overdo it!
democracy special hell
No, there are no special places in hell. Hell is a democracy.
lying heart dust
All stories are lies. But good stories are lies made from light and fire. And they lift our hearts out of the dust, and out of the grave.
book horror excellent
An excellent indie horror book with a wholly original premise.
