Joseph Conrad

To have his path made clear for him is the aspiration of every human being in our beclouded and tempestuous existence.

In order to move others deeply we must deliberately allow ourselves to be carried away beyond the bounds of our normal sensibility.

How does one kill fear, I wonder? How do you shoot a specter through the heart, slash off its spectral head, take it by its spectral throat?

Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
