People seem to get used to anything, and it is a short step from adaptation to attachment.

My own apathy is bone chilling.

When you've been afraid of something for long enough and it comes to pass, the terrible thing is a release. For in the belly of the badness there is no more fear.

Everything people do that doesn’t work has to be somebody else’s fault. Next time you know, geezers’ll be suing the government for getting old and kids’ll be taking their mommies to court because they came out ugly.

But indifference would ultimately commend itself as a devastating weapon.

Only a country that feels invulnerable can afford political turmoil as entertainment.

That boy hardly needed a mask when his naked face was already impenetrable.
