What is life but an ongoing war?

We live like sheep in line waiting to be slaughtered in a slaughterhouse. We eat and laugh and fight as we see those in front of us fall to the knife.

Don't look for meaning in life. It was meant to be lived not understood.

Somethings are simply better left the way they are.

We're not going to make it,' I said.The words caught in my throat, choking me. What was it Leslie had said to me when we were discussing Shannon's and Antoinetta's disappearance? 'You're beginning to sound like one of the characters in your books, Adam.' She'd been right. If this were a novel my heroes would have arrived just in the nick of time and saved the day. But real life didn't work like that. Real life had no happy endings. Despite our best efforts, despite my love for Tara [his wife] and my determination to protect her, and after everything we'd been through at the LeHorn house, fate conspired against us. We were still nine or ten miles from home, and night was almost upon us. By the time we got there it would already be too late. I fought back tears. I had the urge just to lie down in the middle of the road and let the next car run over me.

The hardest thing in life is a man to be honest with himself.

Water in, water out until there is no water to run and the riverbed runs dry. That's life.

Family is the only why of life.

Life is so sweet. A man will even kiss the a** of his enemy to have his head spared.

A small event as tiny as a drop of a pin can change the direction of your entire life.
