Morning is wonderful. Its only drawback is that it comes at such an inconvenient time of day.

Religion is something that gets hammered in early, and never really goes away. And has powers to move which go beyond anything rational.

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.

There is no vengeance as terrible as the vengeance a coward plots in the dark of his heart.

There are no self-proclaimed villains, only regiments of self-proclaimed saints. Victorious historians rule where good or evil lies.

More evil gets done in the name of righteousness than any other way.

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.
