"Death and worse happened on the plains."

-- Larry McMurtry

“I say this idea of chokin' folks to death to reform 'em, is where we show the savage in us, which we have brought down from our barbarious ancestors. We have left off the war paint and war whoops, and we shall leave off the hangin' when we get civilized.”
“It is a paradox in the contemporary world that in our desire for peace we must willingly give ourselves to struggle.”
“I went into the house. I put on Jimi Hendrix's 'Red House' at full volume, filled the glass to the brim with rum, without ice, and went back to the terrace. To gaze at the night and the dark sea and the night.”
“I'm fast, why? Because I eat vegetables.”
“I'm getting more and more comfortable out on the golf course with the changes I've been making. It's really just a confidence thing in that I love being in contention.”

“You want to teach all kids the skills that are on the better side of human nature: empathy, appreciating how one's behavior is affecting other people, resolving disagreements in ways that do not involve conflict, taking another's perspective, honesty.”
“A love thought: I love you so much that I could wish I had been born your brother, or had brought you into the world myself.”
“Bitcoin will do to banks what email did to the postal industry.”
