“Time is not a river, as Einstein theorized - it's a big fucking buffalo herd that runs us down and eventually mashes us into the ground, dead and bleeding, with a hearing aid plugged into one ear and a colostomy bag instead of a .44 clapped on one leg.”

“As our great American philosopher William James has said, an individual has as many selves as there are individuals whom he knows.

You save your most valuable 'personality' for the most valuable persons you know.”
― Joyce Carol Oates

“Isn't bravery always sort of beautiful?”
― Stephen King, Lisey's Story
