1 " I have gone to war and now I can issue my complaint. I can sit on my porch and complain all day. And you must listen. Some of you will say to me: You signed the contract, you crying bitch, and you fought in a war because of your signature, no one held a gun to your head. This is true, but because I signed the contract and fulfilled my obligation to fight one of America’s wars, I am entitled to speak, to say, I belong to a fucked situation. "
― Anthony Swofford , Jarhead : A Marine's Chronicle of the Gulf War and Other Battles
2 " Mick reached backwards without breaking eye contact and ran his hand across the door behind him, “See this?” he said. “This is my door. And no-one is touching my door today.” He shook his head slowly as if the issue wasn’t even up for debate.Surle said nothing, just stared.Mick swung his sword lazily, pointing towards the floor between himself and the infamous Marshal, “See this floor here? This floor is my porch,” he said. “And no-one is welcome on my porch today, especially you.”Still nothing from Surle, just silence.“So why don’t you just sod off like a good little lackey? "
3 " Funny enough, I sit on my porch all day, wave and smile at everyone. Some of them aren't sure, some smiles right back, some come back later and say; " This morning you made my day, had the best day all week, thank you for that!" Smile and wave, that's all it takes :) "
4 " My new apartment might be a place where there are lots of children. They might gather on my porch to play, and when I step out for groceries, they will ask me, " Hi, do you have any kids?" and then, " Why not, don't you like kids?" " I like kids," I will explain. " I like kids very much." And when I almost run over them with my car, in my driveway, I will feel many different things. "
