Belief without evidence is the very hallmark of the savage.

You don’t pick your family, you take what you’re given and you make the best of it.

There was no such thing as luck. Luck was a word idiots used to explain the consequences of their own rashness, and selfishness, and stupidity. More often than not bad luck meant bad plans.

You should laugh every moment you live, for you'll find it decidedly difficult afterwards.

The fool strikes. The wise man smiles, and watches, and learns. Then strikes.

Names turned over by time, like the plough turning the soil. Bringing up the new while the old were buried in the mud.

It's hard to stay calm when you're terrified, helpless, alone, at the mercy of men with no mercy at all.
