humanity earth humans
How do you rid the Earth of humans? Rid the humans of their humanity.
running heart men
Is it any wonder the power this man held over me - this man who did not run from his demons like most of us do, but embraced them as his own, clutching them to his heart in a choke-hold grip. He did not try to escape them by denying them or drugging them or bargaining with them. He met them where they lived, in the secret place most of us keep hidden. Warthrop was Warthrop down to the marrow of his bones, for his demons defined him; they breathed the breath of life into him; and without them, he would go down, as most of us do, into the purgatorial fog of a life unrealized.
hero heart dragons
There's a hero in every heart waiting for the dragon to come out.
next plans hard
It's hard to plan for what comes next when what comes next is not something you planned for.
mean guarantees-that yesterday
It's almost dawn. You can feel it coming. The world holds its breath, because there's really no guarantee that the sun will rise. That there was a yesterday doesn't mean there will be a tomorrow.

stars night thinking
Sometimes in my tent, late at night, I think I can hear the stars scraping against the sky.
mean choices alternatives
You know how sometimes you tell yourself that you have a choice, but really you don't have a choice? Just because there are alternatives doesn't mean they apply to you.
lying light choices
But hope is no less realistic than despair. It is still our choice whether to live in light or lie down in darkness.
