To live is to walk beside Death but never join hands. ~ Captain Buck "Slackeye" Roberts

I came to pen another poem for you, but even every unwritten poem is you.

It's all talk til it's all real walk.

Too big to cry too young to laugh.

It is likely I will die next to a pile of things I was meaning to read.

But it is no good using the tongs of reason to pull the Fundamentalists' chestnuts out of the fire of contradiction. Their real troubles lie elsewhere.

I saw that bad handwriting should be regarded as a sign of an imperfect education.

There are too many people who imagine that there is something sophisticated about always believing the best of those who hate your country, and the worst of those who defend it.

Most of the films that I've written, made in my life, I've written. Not all, but most I would say.

All the calculations show it can't work. There's only one thing to do: make it work.
