""I did not know how to deal with this sort of death, the one that comes slow and inevitable and doesn't let go. I am a soldier. I deal in cannonballs and rifle shots. I understand how a wound can fester and kill a soldier, but there is still the initial wound, something that can be avoided with a little skill and a great deal of luck. Death that simply comes and settles is not a thing I had any experience with." pg20" — Aug 26, 2023 10:05AM

""I have a heart, says science, but I am a monster, says society...
But sometimes I think - sometimes I wonder - if I were a monster surely, I would feel it by now? I would feel angry and vicious and vengeful. I'd know blind rage and blood lust and a need for vindication. Instead I feel an abyss within me that's so deep, so dark I can't see within it; I can't see what it holds."

You didn’t listen to me when I tried to explain that I have scars so long, so deep, you may never find the ends of them

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
