• Whoever is truly humbled — will not be easily angry, nor harsh or critical of others. He will be compassionate and tender to the infirmities of his fellow-sinners, knowing that if there is a difference — it is grace alone which has made it! He knows that he has the seeds of every evil in his own heart. And under all trials and afflictions — he will look to the hand of the Lord, and lay his mouth in the dust, acknowledging that he suffers much less than his iniquities have deserved.

  John Newton

• With flowing tail and flying mane,
  Wide nostrils never stretched by pain,
  Mouth bloodless to bit or rein,
  And feet that iron never shod,
  And flanks unscar'd by spur or rod,
  A thousand horses - the wild - the free -
  Like waves that follow o'er the sea,
  Came thickly thundering on.

  Lord Byron

  Lord Byron, “Mazeppa”

• Why not just tell people I'm an alien from Mars. Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight. They'll believe anything you say, because you're a reporter.

You can't believe a damn word that comes out of his mouth.

• Summer set lip to earth's bosom bare, And left the flushed print in a poppy there: Like a yawn of fire from the grass it came, And the fanning wind puffed it to flapping flame. With burnt mouth red like a lion's it drank The blood of the sun as he slaughtered sank, And dipped its cup in the purpurate shine When the eastern conduits ran with wine.

I just sort of have to not think about it.
