Book cover for Sympathy for the Devil
A Cobra gunship looks like what it is, as simple as a wedge. It is a machine designed to kill people from the air, and every rivet and toggle switch in it is part of that purpose. It makes the kind of blunt, unapologetic statement that ...more

Neil Gaiman
“I am called Glad-of-War, Grim, Raider, and Third. I am One-eyed. I am called Highest, and True-Guesser. I am Grimnir, and I am the Hooded One. I am All-Father, and I am Gondlir Wand-bearer. I have as many names as there are winds, as many titles as there are ways to die. My ravens are Huginn and Muninn: Thought and Memory; my wolves are Freki and Geri; my horse is the gallows.”
Neil Gaiman, American Gods

“They say, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"....I don't agree. Some things that didn't kill me, came so close that they're still damaging. They didn't make me better. Some things made me worse. And can't that be okay too? Can't some things just break you? This whole fucking world wants you to believe that admitting defeat makes you weak. For God's sake, bleed. And bleed openly. There can be pride in vulnerability. Honesty is maturity. And really, it's the things that did kill me, that made me.”
J. Raymond

“Well than try giving it some thought, why don’t you? Apply that finely tutored mind of yours to all those bullshit hero-with-a-high-destiny legends you people are so fucking fond of telling one another. You really think, in a mudball slaughterhouse of a world like this, where war and privation harden whole populations to inhuman brutality and ignorance, where the ruling classes dedicate their sons to learning the science of killing men the way they consign their daughters to breeding till they crack--you really think the gods of a world like that have got no better thing to do with their time than take some random piece of lowborn trash and spend long years carving him into shape for a cat’s-paw?”
Richard K. Morgan, The Cold Commands

Robert De Niro
“A guy told me one time, "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner”
Robert De Niro

Ursula K. Le Guin
“One day is the day for moving on, and overnight, the next day, there is no more good in moving on, because you have come where you were going to.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Unreal and the Real: The Selected Short Stories of Ursula K. Le Guin
