“ Armour... is part of a state of mind... in which you admit the possibility... of being hit. ”
If you want to be a new man you have to stay in new places, and do new things, with people who never knew you before. If you go back to the same old ways, what else can you be but the same old person?
~ Joe Abercrombie
The truth is like salt. Men want to taste a little, but too much makes everyone sick.
Proof is boring. Proof is tiresome. Proof is an irrelevance. People would far rather be handed an easy lie than search for a difficult truth, especially if it suits their own purposes.
Travel brings wisdom only to the wise. It renders the ignorant more ignorant than ever.
