Quote by Peter Gzowski

“A joke I used to know said that if you were planning a trip into the deepest wilderness you should pack a bottle of gin and a bottle of vermouth, and never open them unless and until you became hopelessly lost. Then, wherever you were, when you took your two bottles out of your kit bag, someone would come over the horizon and tell you how to make a better martini.”

“I'd help you bury the body too." The sweetest smiled touched her lips, the meaning behind my words not lost on her. And then she said, "That's good because there's probably going to be one sooner than later." I almost fan the truck off the road. "What?" "My stepmother, I'm thinking about offing her.”

“The most important words a man can say are, “I will do better.” These are not the most important words any man can say. I am a man, and they are what I needed to say. The ancient code of the Knights Radiant says “journey before destination.” Some may call it a simple platitude, but it is far more. A journey will have pain and failure. It is not only the steps forward that we must accept. It is the stumbles. The trials. The knowledge that we will fail. That we will hurt those around us. But if we stop, if we accept the person we are when we fall, the journey ends. That failure becomes our destination. To love the journey is to accept no such end. I have found, through painful experience, that the most important step a person can take is always the next one. I’m certain some will feel threatened by this record. Some few may feel liberated. Most will simply feel that it should not exist. I needed to write it anyway.”
