We always have to ask ourselves whether the level of risk is worth the story. What is bravery, and what is bravado?

Be passionate and be involved in what you believe in, and do it as thoroughly and honestly and fearlessly as you can.

Bravery is not being afraid to be afraid.

Our mission is to report these horrors of war with accuracy and without prejudice.

Give your trust sparingly and only to those who have earned it.

I never trust people with no appetite. It's like they're always holding something back on you.

If the devil went about doing a tenth of what he is accused of doing he would be poor from paying the blacksmith for ox-shoes for his hooves.

I think the comedy clubs tend to homogenize the acts a little bit, because they force them to be palatable in way too many environments.

I actually write a lot, but mostly just daily gibberish. I am a documentation addict: "I just peed. I walked down the hallway. I dropped my pencil. I just aged a minute."

There's poetry in the world. Poetry doesn't belong just to the poets. You know, you can look at the most premeditated, cold blooded movie and find poetry in it.

What we prefer to read is sort of like sexual preference, you like what you like. Most of the time you have no clue why.

No dignity without distance.

Fill the brain with high thoughts, highest ideals, place them day and night before you, and out of that will come great work.

Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin.
