“My old chief taught me three lessons: Never believe anything you hear and only half of what you see. Never go into debt because you will never get out. And never pat yourself on the back because karma will bite you in the ass.

Karma, I think, meet ass.”
David Macinnis Gill, Black Hole Sun

“It is the thinnest lines that define us.”
David Macinnis Gill, Black Hole Sun

“It's not the heroes don't know fear, it's that they don't let fear stop them from doing the job.”
David Macinnis Gill, Invisible Sun
