"The reason death sticks so closely to life isn't biological necessity - it's envy. Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can.

The world don't love you, but your momma does and so do I."

He hoped that in the end even war surrendered."
