Good soldiers are defined by what they can endure, not by what they can inflict.
Gregory David RobertsPraising people behind their back is monstrously unfair, because the one thing you can't defend yourself against is the good that people say about you.
Gregory David RobertsSome loves are like that. Your heart starts to feel like an overcrowded lifeboat. You throw your pride out to keep it afloat, & your self-respect & independence. After a while you start throwing people out - friends, everyone you know. & it's still not enough. The lifeboat is still sinking, & you know it's going to take you down with it. I've seen that happen to a lot of people. I think that's why I'm sick of love. - Karla
