"May those who love you love you, and those who don’t love you, may God turn their hearts. And if He doesn’t turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles so you’ll know them by their limping."
"May your neighbors respect you, trouble neglect you, the angels protect you, and heaven accept you."
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
