1 " I wander cowboy sidewalks of wood, wearing a too-small hat, filled with remorse for the many lives I failed to lead. "
― George Saunders , CivilWarLand in Bad Decline
2 " Charlie started crying, in the convulsive, soundless way that men do. " Don't you understand," he said after composing himself, " that's a funeral dirge for the first wave." We all thought about that, the many lives lost before we even opened our eyes this morning. "
3 " Most people believe that sharing the same flesh and blood, the same basic DNA structure, makes them your family. How sad that is. Because, you see, as a spiritual person, I believe you must deserve a family, not just own it. If those that are my family, don't behave as such, they are not my family. If I have chosen them before I was born, I have been betrayed. I owe them nothing, in this or the many lives to come. In fact, if they betray me in this life, they will return as my enemies in the next. And their karma will make me victorious in that future confrontation. "
― Robin Sacredfire
