“They may be gone, but if you take the time to remember, it helps to know how loved you were. You’ll still feel the loss—you always will, it’s proof of how much you cared for them—but it’s better to remember the love and mourn them than it is to avoid thinking of them so you can pretend you don’t miss them.”
― K.M. Shea, United

“Choose your words carefully, even the words you think, because they become seeds, and seeds become history.”

“One reason diplomats have so much trouble coming to any kind of agreement is that they sit in soft chairs around a large table with yellow pads in front of them to doodle on. They're too comfortable for serious negotiation. My theory is that world peace could be achieved in short order if the diplomats were made to hunker out in a barnyard and draw their proposals on the ground with sticks.

For hundreds of years, hunters have employed the hunker successfully in negotiating with farmers for permission to hunt their property. I myself am an expert hunkerer and would be willing to teach the technique free of charge to both Russian and American diplomats, just so we can get the present mess straightened out in a hurry.”

Keefe doubled over, clutching his sides and gasping between choking laughs: “THAT...WAS...THE...GREATEST...THING...IVE...EVER...SEEN!”
