“The central attitudes driving the Water Torturer are: You are crazy. You fly off the handle over nothing. I can easily convince other people that you're the one who is messed up. As long as I'm calm, you can't call anything I do abusive, no matter how cruel. I know exactly how to get under your skin.” PeopleKnowsLongI CanMatterWaterAttitudeCrazySkinsCalmDrivingHandleConvinceAbusiveMessed Up Book:Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men Source: Why Does He Do That?: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men
“There is a hollow, holey cylinder running from hilt to point in my machete. When I blow across the mouthpiece in the handle, I make music with my blade. When all the holes are covered, the sound is sad, as rough as rough can be and be called smooth. When all the holes are open, the sound pipes about, bringing to the eye flakes of sun on water, crushed metal. There are twenty holes. And since I've been playing music, I've been called all different kinds of fool - more times than Lobey, which is my name.” KindDifferentEyeRunningNamesSoundWaterSunFoolTwentiesBlowHandleHolesRoughMore TimeCoveredMetalsDifferent KindsSmoothBladesHollowCrushedPipePlaying MusicFlakesCylindersMouthpieceMachetes Author:Samuel R.
