Death is the last intimate thing we ever do.
Laurell K. Hamilton
You can't save everybody. In fact, there are days when I think you can't save anyone. Each person has to save himself first, then you can move in and help. I have found this philosophy does not work during a gun battle, or a knife fight either. Outside of that it works just fine.

Nothing turns to hate so bitter as what once was love.
