I have stolen more quotes and thoughts and purely elegant little starbursts of writing from the Book of Revelation than anything else in the English language - and it is not because I am a biblical scholar, or because of any religious faith, but because I love the wild power of the language and the purity of the madness that governs it and makes it music.

Hunter S. ThompsonI felt a strange tightness coming over me, and I reacted instinctively โ for the first time in a long, long while โ by slipping my notebook into my belt and reaching down to take off my watch. The first thing to go in a street fight is your watch, and once youโve lost a few, you develop a certain instinct that lets you know when itโs time to get the thing off your wrist and into a safe pocket.
