“It's often been said, "Violence never solved anything." The simple truth is that when you are slammed up against the wall and the knife is at your throat, when a circle of teenagers is kicking you as you curl into a ball on the sidewalk, or when the man walks into your office building or school with a pair of guns and starts shooting, only violence, or the reasonable threat of violence, is going to save your life. In the extreme moment, only force can stop force.” MenSaidMomentsSchoolForceSimpleWalksViolenceBuildingHe ManWallTruth IsOfficeGunBallsThreatExtremesCirclesTeenagerShootingReasonablePairsThroatKnivesGun ControlKickingCurlsSidewalkSimple TruthsOffice Buildings Author:Rory Miller
“I also remember when I watched Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer [1990] at, like, age 15. That scared the crap out of me. Because it didn't operate inside the usual conventions of the horror genre in the way that I could accept. I can accept horny teenager counselors being murdered at camp. But I couldn't accept the derangement of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, which was that anyone could be murdered at any moment - whole families, with no build-up music and no meaning. It terrified me.” WayI CanWholeMomentsAgeRememberAcceptingHorrorScaredTeenagerGenreCampsUsualConventionsKillersCrapPortraitsTerrifiedRemember WhenSerialsSerial KillerWhole FamilyHornyCounselorHorror Genre Author:Christopher Bollen
“Grief is not just a series of events, stages, or timelines. Our society places enormous pressure on us to get over loss, to get through grief. But how long do you grieve for a husband of fifty years, a teenager killed in a car accident, a four-year-old child: a year? Five years? Forever? The loss happens in time, in fact in a moment, but its aftermath lasts a lifetime.” YearsChildrenLongMomentsFactsHappensLastsLossGriefForeverFiveFourStageCarEventsHusbandPressureSeriesLifetimeAccidentsEnormousTeenagerGrievingFive YearsFiftyOur SocietyFour YearsGet OverAftermathCar AccidentTimelines Author:Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
