Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire.

Um, what I found though about the Christian Brothers is this: that they were certainly muscular.

The principle was, death should not be entered like some snug harbor. It should be an unambiguous refusal to surrender.

Power is when we have every justification to kill, and we don't.

So I was very close to ordination. I was delighted to be ordained a deacon, which is the last step between, before becoming a priest. But then it all fell apart.

But I was also a brat. I used to belong to a gang that went looking for fights with other gangs.

I thought I'd definitely be a writer, whatever I did.
