Bad Axe Quotes

“Everyone was riding in a yellow submarine, and their friends were all aboard, a thousand feet deep in an ocean of deceits. As tempting as it was, Thorn didn’t completely buy that easy cynicism. Stories might be lies, they might be man-made inventions, but the purposes they served were absolutely necessary. They gave respite and order in the face of chaos. They were temporary strongholds pitched in the wilderness where we hunkered down, lit our fires, cooked our food, and breathed easy as the night beasts howled incessantly beyond the make-believe walls.”
― James W. Hall, Bad Axe

“All you need is love. It sounded true but wasn’t. You needed a hell of a lot more than that. You needed tolerance and self-control, and you needed empathy and strength and discipline and flexibility. You needed serenity and good luck.”
― James W. Hall, Bad Axe
