I was in television drama, which is a first cousin to the movies, and I trust myself to make the right decisions.

Lee Child

Thomas Jefferson

Josh Radnor

If you give up what you want most for what you think you should want more, you'll end up miserable.

Brandon Sanderson

There is safety in numbers. And science. Clone your way to being safe. Nobody can protect you like you. And you and you and you.
