Samuel Butler

Fear is static that prevents me from hearing myself.

In law, nothing is certain but the expense.

To give pain is the tyranny; to make happy, the true empire of beauty.

I must not permit the evil capabilities of human nature to sour my faith in the tremendous good that is possible despite the frailty of that nature.

A myth is a lie that conceals or reveals a truth. But if it reveals even a strand of history or truth, that's what gets my adrenaline going.

I've been watching 'Game of Thrones,' and I can't wait for 'Bored to Death' to come back, it's one of my faves.
