Quote

At the end of the season of sorrows comes the time of rejoicing. Spring, like a well-oiled clock, noiselessly indicates this time.

Nick swore he'd die with this boots on, on some exotic safari, but he found his Kilimanjaro in a hospital on Earth, where they'd cured everything that was bothering him, except for the galloping pneumonia he'd picked up in the hospital. That had been, roughly, two hundred and fifty years ago. I'd been a pallbearer.

I walked among Shadows, and found a race of furry creatures, dark and clawed and fanged, reasonably manlike, and about as intelligent as a freshman in the high school of your choice-sorry, kids, but what I mean is they were loyal, devoted, honest, and too easily screwed by bastards like me and my brother. I felt like the dee-jay of your choice.

The day of battle dawned pink as the fresh-bitten thigh of a maiden.

The enemy of the moment is not as important as our own inner weakness. If this is not mended we are already defeated, though no foreign conqueror stands within our walls.

Death is mighty, and is no one's friend.

Be warned, therefore, that one does not go to hell to light a cigarette.

When your bow is broken and your last arrow spent, then shoot, shoot with your whole heart.

Of course it does not apply to me. I am the soul of honor, kindness, mercy and goodness. Trust me in all things.

That's life: trust and you're betrayed don't trust and you betray yourself.

Between the black of yesterday and the white of tomorrow is the great gray of today.

I've always been impulsive. My thinking is usually pretty good, but I always seem to do it after I do my talking — by which time I've generally destroyed all basis for further conversation.

Do you work for the government, any government?” I pay taxes, which means I work for the government, part of the time. Yes.

The absence of a monument can, in its own way, be something of a monument also.
