Religion is proof a good story’s a powerful thing.
What we say about our past becomes our past.
Blessed are the generous who keep enough for themselves…
The punishment for being good is a life of goodness.
What we say about our past becomes our past.
I am the citizen of warm wet places…
The punishment for being good is goodness.
Those failures of nerve, not of skill, are the worst.

There’s always a little more fun on the devil’s side.
Those failures of nerve, not of skill, are the worst.
The best of us yield in time.
