Tom, don't let anybody kid you. It's all personal, every bit of business. Every piece of shit every man has to eat every day of his life is personal. They call it business. OK. But it's personal as hell. You know where I learned that from? The Don. My old man. The Godfather. If a bolt of lightning hit a friend of his the old man would take it personal. He took my going into the Marines personal. That's what makes him great. The Great Don. He takes everything personal Like God. He knows every feather that falls from the tail of a sparrow or however the hell it goes? Right? And you know something? Accidents don't happen to people who take accidents as a personal insult. Micheal Corleone

--Behind every successful fortune,there is a crime.
from the Godfather.

Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold, mere anarchy is loosed upon the world - Chinua Achebe, Things fall apart.

yes chinua Achebe made that quote very popular amongst us Nigerians. But the origin of that line came from William Butler Yeats in his epic poem 'the second coming'.

'Children are dying.'
Lull nodded. 'That's a
succinct summary of
humankind, I'd say.
Who needs tomes and
volumes of history? Children are dying.
The injustices of the
world hide in those
three words. Quote
me, Duiker, and your
work's done.' The bastard's right.
Economics, ethics, the
games of the gods - all
within that single,
tragic statement. I'll
quote you, soldier. Be assured of that.

makes sense. Who's your favourite character so far?

Stay, you imperfect speakers, tell me more.
By Sinel’s death I know I am thane of Glamis.
But how of Cawdor? The thane of Cawdor lives,
A prosperous gentleman, and to be king
Stands not within the prospect of belief,
No more than to be Cawdor. Say from whenc
you owe this strange intelligence, or why
Upon this blasted heath you stop our way
With such prophetic greeting. Speak, I charge you. (SPOKEN BY Banquo to the first witch in the book (Macbeth)

How easy it will always be to reach the truth if preconceived ideas did not falsify our judgements. Dan Brown, The DaVinci Code

"those whose palm-kernels were cracked by a benevolent spirit should not forget to be humble" things fall apart

no man is lost wen a good woman had found him. Moll Flanders

"Hand to hand is how it will be, life and death fight against the fiend, and he whom death bears off shall submit to the judgement of the Lord."
Beowulf

“ Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning-- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. F. Scott Fitzgerald , The Great Gatsby

Hmm, hard to pick but I loved whiskeyjack and I hated that Steven Ericsson killed the character. Though something tells me he'll come back as an ascendant probably

"tell me, do you bleed?" Malazan tales of the fallen. So good, it was used in Batman vs Superman Dawn of justice

Lool not keen on spoilers but answer me this- Did whiskeyjack come back in any capacity, as an ascendant probably? Or he stayed dead?

Hahaha I knew it!!!! Though I sorta predicted he'd come back as an ascendant and take a throne to himself (probably kurald emurlan) like dancer and the emperor did, u know?

Anyways I just knew he'd be back.

Any other bad ass fiction you'd recommend?
