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'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.

For the longest time I studied revenge to the exclusion of all else. I built my first torture chamber in the dark vaults of imagination. Lying on bloody sheets in the Healing Hall I discovered doors within my mind that I'd not found before, doors that even a child of nine knows should not be opened. Doors that never close again. I threw them wide.

I’ll tell you now. That silence almost beat me. It’s the silence that scares me. It’s the blank page on which I can write my own fears. The spirits of the dead have nothing on it. The dead one tried to show me hell, but it was a pale imitation of the horror I can paint on the darkness in a quiet moment.

I've always felt that the placement of a man's testicles is an eloquent argument against intelligent design.

Image
And when pain bites, men bargain. Boys too. We twist and turn, we plead and beg, we offer our tormentors what he wants so that the hurting will stop. And when there is no torturer to placate, no hooded man with hot irons and tongs, just a burn you can't escape, we bargain with God, or ourselves, depending on the size of our egos.

Dark times call for dark choices. Choose me.

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

Image
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.

There's a road to hell that is paved with good intentions but it's a long route. The quicker path is paved with the kind of ignorance that clever men who just don't want to know are best at.

Few things worth having can be got easily.

Hold to a thing long enough, a secret, a desire, maybe a lie, and it will shape you.

something in me had got broken, but not so broken I didn't remember what it was.

We can't be trapped by fear. Lives lived within such walls are just slower deaths.

In the end it seems we're just toys,easy to break and hard to mend
