Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Sometimes it’s important to stop and breathe. It’ll improve your mood. It’ll also improve your aim. Nothing fixes most problems like shooting them in the head.”
“Never go into a book. Either it’s a dimensional portal, which is bad, or it’s some sort of Dungeons and Dragons-style mimic-thing, which is also bad, although in a less ‘we’ll never find your body’ sort of a way.”
“Death is not the last great adventure. Death is the natural consequence of getting the last great adventure wrong.”
“Life is a death sentence. Get as many stays of execution as you possibly can.”
“Family doesn’t always make things better. Sometimes family only makes it worse.”
“Nothing—nothing—is more important than making it home alive.”
We build our presents on the ruins of our pasts, and we hope the foundations we construct from the dust of bad ideas and painful choices will be strong enough to hold up our futures. They have to be.
“Find out what people expect and then do as close to the opposite as your conscience and the laws of physics will allow. Gets ’em every time.”
“People who say that right and wrong are all about absolutes are usually getting ready to stab someone for looking at things differently. Try to stab them first.”
There’s not a chosen one. There never was. There’s just people, all over the world, trying their best to make sure the sun comes up tomorrow. We do the job because we know the job exists, and once you know the job exists, it’s hard to pretend it doesn’t matter.
“Family is more than what’s in your blood. Family is what’s in your heart, and who you reach for when the sun goes down.”
