“How do you handle it when your anger brims over the edge of the pot? You use the shortened version of the Serenity Prayer, which is “Fuck it.” Like Voltaire’s Candide tending his own garden or the British infantry going up the Khyber Pass one bloody foot at a time, you do your job, and you grin and walk through the cannon smoke, and you just keep saying fuck it. You also have faith in your own convictions and never let the naysayers and those who are masters at inculcating self-doubt hold sway in your life. “Fuck it” is not profanity. “Fuck it” is a sonnet.”
James Lee Burke, Robicheaux

Nico Walker
“This is how you find the one to break your heart.”
Nico Walker, Cherry

Stephen  King
“In case you didn't know it, friend, the Weather Bureau can post tornado warnings, but when it comes to telling exactly when and where they'll touch down, they don't know fuck-all.”
Stephen King, Misery

Charles Bukowski
“The fuckers. There, I feel better. God-damned human race. There, I feel better.”
Charles Bukowski, The Captain is Out to Lunch and the Sailors Have Taken Over the Ship

“How did a man know when it was his time? The answer was simple. There comes a moment when you no longer resist the inevitable and you accept the fact that billions have preceded you and that your death is not more important than theirs.”
James Lee Burke, House of the Rising Sun
