When I was younger, I'd wanted someone to promise me that things would work out and nothing bad would ever happen again. But I understood now that that was a child's wish. No one could promise that. No one. The grown-ups could try, but they couldn't promise, not and mean it.

Everyone spends their lives trying to balance their world between good and evil.

Never criticize, unless you can do a better job.

No name-calling truly bites deep unless, in some dark part of us, we believe it. If we are confident enough then it is just noise.

I should not have to flirt with someone while I'm trying to threaten someone else with a gun; it was too hard to do both.
