Memories, you see, hurt. The good ones most of all.

It was one lesson he never forgot.You don't sit back when you or a loved one is being assaulted.And you don't act like the goverment with their "proportional responses" and all that nonsense.If someone hurts you,mercy and pity must be put aside,You eliminate the enemy.You scorch the earth.

Hope can be the most wonderful thing in the world or it can crush your heart like an eggshell.

You want this so badly—this second chance, this chance at real redemption—that you can’t see the truth.

I would never write a memoir, because it would be too boring.

The most annoying and full- of- crap thing a writer says is, I write only for myself, I don't care if anyone reads it. A writer without a reader doesn't exist.

I once worked as a tour guide in the Costa del Sol of Spain.
