You have to learn to love the small things in life, like a hot bath. You have to love the small things, when you have nothing else

The wise wait for their moment, but never let it pass.

I got into reading a lot of noir and a lot of thrillers as well, and I really admired the plotting about those and the way that they can surprise you. And obviously to surprise people and to have twists in the tale, you have to plan quite carefully.

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

But you can't truly hate a man without loving him first, and there's always a trace of that love left over.

That's what courage is. Taking your disappointments and your failures, your guilt and your shame, all the wounds received and inflicted, and sinking them in the past. Starting again. Damning yesterday and facing tomorrow with your head held high. Times change. It's those that see it coming, and plan for it, and change themselves to suit, that prosper.

Rules are for children. This is war, and in war the only crime is to lose.
