And they will be dealt with in just the same way. Like all fascists, the terrorists can not be appeased. They must be defeated. This struggle will not end in a truce or a treaty. It will end in victory for the United States, our friends and for the cause of freedom.

Wars died one tiny piece at a time, each piece something that fell like a memory, each lost like an echo that fades in winding hills. In the end even war ran up the white flag. Or so he hoped. He hoped that in the end even war surrendered.

  Stephen King

• Supersticiones, fanatismos, hipocresías, prejuicios, estos fantasmas, aunque fantasmas, se aferran a la vida; tienen dientes y uñas en su sustancia sombría, y debemos luchar con ellos individualmente y hacerles la guerra sin tregua; porque es una de las inevitabilidades de la humanidad estar condenada a una lucha eterna con los fantasmas.

• La pasión nunca me ha abandonado. Vivo como dos personas: yo mismo, Dan Fante, y Bruno Dante o Mickey Di Salvo, o quienquiera que diga que soy en uno de mis libros.

Hace años dejé de alimentarlo con alcohol y tuvo la amabilidad de dejar de intentar matarme. Esa es nuestra tregua.
