I've always felt that the placement of a man's testicles is an eloquent argument against intelligent design.

We die a little every day and by degrees we’re reborn into different men, older men in the same clothes, with the same scars.

I’ll tell you now. That silence almost beat me. It’s the silence that scares me. It’s the blank page on which I can write my own fears. The spirits of the dead have nothing on it. The dead one tried to show me hell, but it was a pale imitation of the horror I can paint on the darkness in a quiet moment.

No half measures. Some things can’t be cut in half. You can’t half-love someone. You can’t half-betray, or half-lie.

Anything that you cannot sacrifice pins you. Makes you predictable, makes you weak.

The biggest lies we save for ourselves.

You can only win the game when you understand that it is a game. Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him lose them all.
