Kindle Notes & Highlights
It can be a fearsome weapon, patience. One that few men ever learn to use.
People would far rather be handed an easy lie than search for a difficult truth, especially if it suits their own purposes.
If you want to be a new man you have to stay in new places, and do new things, with people who never knew you before. If you go back to the same old ways, what else can you be but the same old person?
But you can’t truly hate a man without loving him first, and there’s always a trace of that love left over.
Trust. It was a word that only liars used. A word the truthful had no need of.
Wine can keep a happy man happy, on occasion. A sad one it always makes worse.
The shimmering palaces and a river of shit, so much closer together than most would ever like to believe. Everything beautiful has a dark side, and some of us must dwell there, so that others can laugh in the light.
Do you know what’s worse than a villain? A villain who thinks he’s a hero. A man like that, there’s nothing he won’t do, and he’ll always find himself an excuse.
