The less a man knows about the past and the present, the more insecure must prove to be his judgment of the future.

It would be madness, and inconsistency, to suppose that things which have never yet been performed can be performed without employing some hitherto untried means.

Tomorrow never comes, man. It’s all the same fucking day.

Little folks become their little fate.
