Time, of course, topples everyone in its path equally- the way that driver beats his old horse until it dies. But the thrashing we receive is one of frightful gentleness. Few of us even realize that we are being beaten. Haruki Murakami
They have no idea that it can be done by a bus driver, a field hand, or a fry cook. They have no idea where it comes from. It comes from pain, damnation and impossibility. The blow to the soul of the gut. It comes from getting burned and seared and slugged. It comes from...new and awful places and the same old places. Charles Bukowski
Just get up. What's your name, kid?" "G-man"I don't mean your codename down at the Dickhead Club. What does it say on your driver's license? Tad Williams
