“There’s no such thing as fate. It’s just the word men give to decisions which have worked out badly.”

“Fate drives cruel bargains. We must always release one thing before we can grasp something else.”

“If you want a man to trust you, ask him for a favor. Most people get this part wrong. They try to win people over by offering something to them, but humans instinctively recoil from those who help them. They like the people that they help far better, even if the favor granted is as small as a cigarette.”

“If Anthony Weaver knew anything, it was this: That life and love and country and duty…that all of these things faded in time. They came and went with the impartial cruelty of the Indian sun. But sin and sin alone is eternal.”
