| Jack Reacher seems like the kind of action hero that an 18-year old boy would come up with (this was especially felt in the scene where Reacher looks at a woman in a bar and instinctively knows her bra size)-- he has super human strength and reasonin...more | |

“Later he saw Jesus move from tree to tree in the back of his mind, a wild ragged figure motioning him to turn around and come off into the dark where he might be walking on the water and not know it and then suddenly know it and drown.”

“The desires of the heart are as crooked as corkscrews
Not to be born is the best for man
