Do you know the story of the scorpion and the frog? You know, the frog agrees to carry the scorpion across the river, because the scorpion promises not to sting him. And then the scorpion stings the frog, half way across the river. The drowning frog asks him why he did it, when they'll both drown, and the scorpion says that he's a scorpion, and it's his nature to sting.

I think that we all, each one of us, we all have to earn our future.

It doesnt always help us to love the world,but it does prevent us from hating the world.

Some of the worst wrongs, were caused by people who tried to change things.

I went to war. .... I survived, while other men around me died. ... men whose lives were crunched up in mistakes, and thrown away by the wrong second of someone else's hate, or love, or indifference.

Once you love something, you can never stop loving it. Even after a divorce, the heart will not stop loving.

Of course I wanted to know. I was a writer. I wanted to know everything.
