“When I train, I love to take time off and fly to the Natural History Museum or an exhibition. I just love that. When you know your past, it will help you with your future… That’s why most of my friends are not fighters. Most of my friends are nerds like me. That’s why I have a hard time finding a girlfriend. I need someone to talk science with. I’m married to my work right now. But you never know. One day I could wake up and just do something different.

“With smoking axle hot with speed, with steeds of fire and steam, Wide-waked To-day leaves Yesterday behind him like a dream. Still, from the hurrying train of Life, fly backward far and fast The milestones of the fathers, the landmarks of the past. But human hearts remain unchanged: the sorrow and the sin, The loves and hopes and fears of old, are to our own akin; And if, in tales our fathers told, the songs our mothers sung, Tradition wears a snowy beard, Romance is always young.” IfsHumansHeartStillsDreamPastRomanceYoungMotherSongFatherSinBehindsFireSorrowTraditionHotTrainWideSpeedYesterdayTalesSmokingHuman HeartOur FatherBeardSteamMilestoneHurryingLandmarksHopes And FearsHope And LoveSnowy Book:Narrative and Legendary Poems, Complete Volume I., the Works of Whittier Source: Narrative and Legendary Poems, Complete Volume I., the Works of Whittier

“For the bookish, London is a book. For criminals, a map of opportunities. For unpapered immigrants, it is a nest of skinned eyes; sanctioned gunmen ready to blow your head off as you run for a train. When the city of distorting mirrors revealed itself, through its districts and discriminations, I discovered more about London's past as a reworking of my own submerged history.” BookEyeRunningPastOpportunityMy OwnCitiesReadyMirrorsTrainBlowLondonCriminalsDiscriminationImmigrantsMapsNestsSubmergedGunmen Book:London: City of Disappearances Source: London: City of Disappearances
