Ernest HemingwayI'm not unfaithful, darling. I've plenty of faults but I'm very faithful. You'll be sick of me I'll be so faithful.

Ernest HemingwayIf people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them.

If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.
