Always a trade. Always a compromise. Until there wasn't anything left to bargain with, because neither one us had any clue what to do.

Steph Campbell

I believe in the brotherhood of man, all men, but I don't believe in brotherhood with anybody who doesn't want brotherhood with me. I believe in treating people right, but I'm not going to waste my time trying to treat somebody right who doesn't know how to return the treatment.

Malcolm X

Friedrich Nietzsche

Ron Chernow

You'd challenge me and lose. You know it, I know it, but you'd still do it. Sometimes your sense of honor confuses the hell out of me.
