Joel Arnold

“The sincerity of foulness pleases us, and rests the soul. When one has passed one's time in enduring upon earth the spectacle of the great airs which reasons of state, the oath, political sagacity, human justice, professional probity, the austerities of situation, incorruptible robes all assume, it solaces one to enter a sewer and to behold the mire which befits it.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“Great perils have this fine characteristic, that they bring to light the fraternity of strangers.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“Love each other well and always. There is nothing else but that in the world: love for each other.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“That’s the difference between crime and business. For business you gotta have capital. Sometimes I think it’s the only difference.”
― Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep and Other Novels
