Legends are best left as legends and attempts to make them real are rarely successful

It is only about things which concern us most profoundly that we lie clearly and with profound conviction.

By means of our myths and legends we maintain a sense of what we are worth and who we are. Without them we should undoubtedly go mad.

There was no more dangerous kind of madman than one who devoted a good brain and a courageous heart to unhealthy ambitions.

Americans need bullshit the way koala bears need eucalyptus leaves. They've become totally addicted to it. They get so much of it back home that they can't survive without it.

If the people at the top think that reaching for a gun will solve the problem, why shouldn't the people at the bottom think the same?

Destiny's Champion, Fate's fool. Eternity's Soldier, Time's Tool.
