I'm a bad man. I need to understand the past. It illuminates the present.
Consistency is the sign of a narrow mind.
Any man who barely sustains an armistice with himself has no business poking around in an alien soul.
The man who counts on the aid of a god deserves the help he doesn't get.
There were dreams once upon a time, dreams now all but forgotten. On sad days I dust them off and fondle them nostalgically, with a patronizing wonder at the naivete of the youth who dreamed them.
I believe in our side and theirs, with the good and evil decided after the fact, by those who survive. Among men you seldom find the good with one standard and the shadow with another.
