Holding On Quotes - Page 12

• Everyone aimed at security: no one accepted responsibility. What was plainly lacking, long before the barbarian invasions had done their work, long before economic dislocations became serious, was inner go.

I woke up in the morning, and the dog was looking at me like, 'You're a fake.'
