The thing is, people can't complain about profit-oriented moves if they're only interested in profit themselves. You can't have it both ways. If they're willing to polish up a gift and sell it to make money, they can't really complain about the fact that somebody above them has sold them down the river. That's the way it goes. ↗

I mean, I'm pretty good in real life, but sometimes people seem surprised that I'm like a normal teenager and wear black nail polish and I'm just a little bit more edgy than the person I play on television. ↗

- Wy, ludzie, mówicie o życiu i śmierci, jakby to były dwie rzeczy wzajemnie się wykluczające, jakby nie istniała rzeka, będąca również drogą, czy pieśń, będąca kolorem. - Bo nie istnieją - odparł Cień. - Prawda? - Echa znad wody powtarzały szeptem jego słowa. - Musisz pamiętać - rzekł cierpko pan Ibis - że życie i śmierć to dwie strony tej samej monety, jak orzeł i reszka na ćwierćdolarówce. - A gdybym miał ćwierćdolarówkę o dwóch orłach? - Ale nie masz. Miewają je tylko głupcy i bogowie. ↗

Sometimes I wait at the bottom of those dark stairs, I sit at the bottom of the stairs, I wait beyond the bottom of the stairs and listen to the sounds my wife and children make as they sleep, the sounds our animals make as they step carefully through our dreams and out the other side to polished floor and cold window. Sometimes I wait so long I become unsure if I am asleep, or awake, or dead. ↗
