No half measures. Some things can’t be cut in half. You can’t half-love someone. You can’t half-betray, or half-lie.

When you take a woman away from her man, what you get is a woman who can be taken away from her man.

Image
All lives are tales. Some spread, and grow in the telling. Others are just told between us and the gods, muttered back and forth behind our days, but those tales grow too and shake us just as fierce.

Each day the memories weigh a little heavier. Each day they drag you down that bit further. You wind them around you, a single thread at a time, and you weave your own shroud, you build a cocoon, and in it madness grows.

Do you know why the leaves change colour?... Before a tree sheds a leaf it pumps it full of all the poison it can't rid itself of otherwise. That red there--that's a man's skin blotching with burst veins after an assassin spikes his last meal with roto-weed. The poison spreading through him before he dies.

I wanted to go home and if Hell rose up to stop me, it would make me desire it more.

Let's go to Valhalla with the sun on our faces.

Image
I think maybe we die every day. Maybe we're born new each dawn, a little changed, a little further on our own road. When enough days stand between you and the person you were, you're strangers. Maybe that's what growing up is. Maybe I have grown up.

If the sins of the flesh ever got old I didn't ever want enough years on me to know it.

Image
When you're in a dark place, and your light is going to run out before too long, you get on with things. It's a wonder to me how few people apply that same logic to their lives.

Take a rest and the world catches up with you. Lesson in life--keep moving.

Some men are too dull to feel what might happen. Others torture themselves with maybes and populate their dreams with horrors more terrible than their worst enemy could inflict upon them.

You soon learn there’s no elegance or dignity in death if you spend time in the castle kitchens. You learn how ugly it is, and how good it tastes.

Anything that you cannot sacrifice pins you. Makes you predictable, makes you weak.
