I have learned all kinds of things from my many mistakes. The one thing I never learn to stop making them.

Luck is a woman. She's drawn to those that least deserve her.

It's hard to be done a favor by a man you hate. It's hard to hate him so much afterwards. Losing an enemy can be worse than losing a friend, if you've had him for long enough.

Have a smile for breakfast, you'll be shitting joy by lunch.

There are few men with more blood on their hands than me. None, that I know of. The Bloody-Nine they call me, my enemies, and there’s a lot of ’em. Always more enemies, and fewer friends. Blood gets you nothing but more blood. It follows me now, always, like my shadow, and like my shadow I can never be free of it. I should never be free of it. I’ve earned it. I’ve deserved it. I’ve sought it out. Such is my punishment.

A friendship between a man and a woman was what you called it when one had been pursuing the other for a long time and never gotten anywhere.

Hard words are for fools and cowards.
