Letting our past decide our future. Or we can decide for ourselves. And maybe it's our job to invent something better. Chuck Palahniuk
Do I understand, sir, that you mean the Cause for which our heroes have died is not sacred?' If you were run over by a railroad train your death wouldn’t sanctify the railroad company, would it?' asked Rhett and his voice sounded as if he were humbly seeking information. Margaret Mitchell
I still lack a political, religious, and philosophical world view. I change it every month, so I'll have to limit myself to the description of how my heroes love, marry, give birth, die, and how they speak. Anton Chekhov
