We seem but to linger in manhood to tell the dreams of our childhood, and they vanish out of memory ere we learn the language.

Turn up the lights. I don't want to go home in the dark.

O. Henry

I love Charlie, Billy Burke's character. Writing for him is so spectacular, he's so funny and wry and every scene he's in he just takes. There's a scene in 'Eclipse' where Bella tells him she's a virgin, and it's the funniest, most awkward scene I've ever seen on film.

Life is like a play: it's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid... He is the hero, he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor, by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it. He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world.

Raymond Chandler

They say geniuses mostly have great mothers. They mostly have sad fates.

Memorial Day this year is especially important as we are reminded almost daily of the great sacrifices that the men and women of the Armed Services make to defend our way of life.
