“As I get close to the subway, a guy in a raincoat seethes at me, “Smile!” This makes me feel worse. I was lost in thought, minding my own business, and someone felt he had the right to disturb me anyway.

It’s like striking a bawling kid to stop him from crying, and we’ve all seen that done.”

"As though they cannot decide if they are afraid of me or they want to kiss me."
" I am not afraid of you," Marco says.”

“Try to avoid getting involved with somebody who's gonna need killing before it's over. It may seem to you that that narrows the field somewhat, but be diligent. ”
