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

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.

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

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

A fool may scrawl on a slate and if no one has the wit to wipe it clean for a thousand years, the scrawl becomes the wisdom of ages.
