It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Probably some sort of mean-spiritedness involved.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

That was my thought.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

And the $4,000 gold nugget that was dropped off the previous year?

Jewish engagement called off.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Someone dropped a South African Krugerrand ($1,600) into a kettle here in Portland,  for the 3 time in 4 years.

South African engagement called off. She found out Mel was a nutter.

Like ten years ago someone did something similar in Boston... at the train station I used to commute out of, some lady opened a random car that was unlocked and left a diamond engagement ring worth around $8,000 (IIRC) in a box in the passenger seat, along with a note along the lines of "He broke my heart, but maybe this will warm yours."

I wish that was my car she'd left it in, but then again I'm not an idiot that leaves his car unlocked at a freaking MBTA station. :huh:
