It's just a great kind of relationship in fiction.”

Love's a light that can't be extinguished.”

The top of the head is fit for growing hair, but not for generating fine prose.”

going about their days and nights
they have found meaning in
doing things that they had not planned in their lives

traveling on the roads of life,
they have not yet given up the fight!”

I walk through rooms of the dead, streets of the dead, cities of the dead; men without eyes, men without voices; men with manufactured feelings and standard reactions; men with newspaper brains, television souls and high school ideas. Kennedy himself was 9/10ths the way around the clock or he wouldn't have accepted such an enervating and enfeebling job -- meaning President of the United States of America. How can I be concerned with the murder of one man when almost all men, plus females, are taken from cribs as babies and almost immediately thrown into the masher?”
