Lieutenant Colonel Giles Vandeleur: Joe? Joe, how the hell do they expect us to keep schedule on a road like this? Lt. Colonel J.O.E. Vandeleur: You don't know the worst. This bit we're on now? Lieutenant Colonel Giles Vandeleur: Yes? Lt. Colonel J.O...
Having equipped ourselves with sophisticated living, we've lost something which is essential in its exclusivity, it's neither morals nor values, neither power nor determination, neither intelligence nor knowledge, neither warfare nor bloodshed, the u...
If watching your child die is a parent's worst nightmare, imagine having to tell your other child that his sister is dead... Although I am certain that he cried, that we all cried, what I remember more is how we collapsed into each other, as if the w...
The mint from your breath, the milk from your breast, the best of your mind, now in its worst state of condition. From the womb to the tomb, as a mild flower, you break your petals upon blossom, and seize death openly. Leaving your fragrance to spin ...
I hate homework. I hate it more now than I did when I was the one lugging textbooks and binders back and forth from school. The hour my children are seated at the kitchen table, their books spread out before them, the crumbs of their after-school sna...
I go through periods where I don't shop at all, and then I go crazy and buy everything in sight. I never know what to wear, and I'm at my worst before an audition. I pull everything out of the closet, throw it on my bed. I'll get entirely dressed and...

Efficiency is doing the thing right. Effectiveness is doing the right thing.
It's no big thing, but you make big things out of little things sometimes.
It's just that if you're not disruptive everything seems to be repeated endlessly - not so much the good things but the bland things - the ordinary things - the weaker things get repeated- the stronger things get suppressed and held down and hidden.
It doesn't make sense to have to do the wrong thing in order to do the right thing.
First things first.
Things happen. And good things happen, and bad things happen. And I'm a person - I'm a believer that everything happens for a reason.
SOMETIMES THE HARDEST THING AND THE RIGHT THING ARE THE SAME
The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.
The thing is, all memory is fiction. You have to remember that. Of course, there are things that actually, certifiably happened, things you can pinpoint the day, the hour, the minute. When you think about it, though, those things, mostly seem to happ...
Good things require time.
Time destroys all things.
Life is the source of all things.
