men sin crime
Do you know what punishments I've endured for my crimes, my sins? None. I am proof of the absurdity of men's most treasured abstractions. A just universe wouldn't tolerate my existence.
powerful stupid kind
..because the only kind of love I have to offer is stupid and blind and so deep and powerful that I feel like I'm cracking just to hold it in.
mean winning justice
Life is nothing in itself. It’s a place marker that proves who’s winning, and we are the winners. We are always the winners. There is nothing but the winning. Even winning means nothing. We win because it’s an insult to lose. The ends don’t justify the means. The means don’t justify the ends. There is no one to justify to. There is no justice.” ~ Durzo Blint
dream shadow abiding
Why is it, my shadow-striding friend, that we don't fear dreams? We lose consciousness, lose control, things happen with no apparent logic and abiding by no apparent rules.... We don't fear dreams, but we do fear madness, and death terrifies us.
player worry trying
If you worry about what everyone is trying to do, you become a spectator and not a player.
busy get-away ifs
If you looked busy, you could get away with almost anything.
moments hours ugliness
Moments of beauty sustain us through hours of ugliness.
armor remember
Put on some armor. Just remember what's armor and what's you, so when it's time to take it off, you can.
girl secret dolls
If I tell you a secret can you keep it quiet? “Well, I can. I’m not so sure about Doll Girl.
empty-life life-is values
Life is empty. Life is worthless. When we take a life, we aren't taking anything of value.- Durzo Blint
believe moving air
Why did women always believe that talking about a problem would fix it? Some issues were corpses. Hot air made them fester and rot and spread their disease to everything else. Better to bury it and move on.
men hug might
Bewildered as he might be, sometimes a man's highest calling is simply to stand, and hug.
sacrifice winning guarantees-that
There's no guarantee that justice will win out or that a noble sacrifice will make any difference. But when it does, there's something that still swells my chest. There's magic in that.... It tells me that's the way things are supposed to be.
book people literature
What people value in their books—and thus what they count as literature—really tells you more about them than it does about the book.
