We can't see the first works of our favorite authors, the unpublished works, or the first draft of their first book. Chances are they made mistakes too, so don't compare yourself to people who have had decades to edit out typos and to learn and grow with the process. You'll get there, just like they did.(less)

No Tougher Duty, No Greater Honor

This book was written by one of the Marines I deployed with in 2005. He even gives a fairly accurate and slightly embellished description of me in it, but I will let you try to figure out which character I am in this book. I highly recommend this book, not just because I'm in it, but because it serves as a reminder of what we have to lose and how much we can endure.

“Give it up to God,” they’d say, or “He won’t give you more than you can handle.” Fuck that. He preferred to just stay here and kill things.”
Joel Crofoot, Michael's Passion

“He walked toward her casually, like a lion roaming the Serengeti that knew it was the highest thing on the food chain, and she felt like a gazelle.”
Joel Crofoot, Asael's Nature

“The last thing he wanted was to see the bright, shining, happy faces of the other angels up there.”
Joel Crofoot, Michael's Passion

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”
Marcus Aurelius

“There are only two worlds - your world, which is the real world, and other worlds, the fantasy. Worlds like this are worlds of the human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality, is not important. What is important is that they are there. these worlds provide an alternative. Provide an escape. Provide a threat. Provide a dream, and power; provide refuge, and pain. They give your world meaning. They do not exist; and thus they are all that matters. ”
Neil Gaiman, The Books of Magic

“Give it up to God,” they’d say, or “He won’t give you more than you can handle.” Fuck that. He preferred to just stay here and kill things.”
