• Memory is all we are. Moments and feelings, captured in amber, strung on filaments of reason. Take a man’s memories and you take all of him. Chip away a memory at a time and you destroy him as surely as if you hammered nail after nail through his skull.

• The only thing poverty does is grind down your nerve endings to a point that you can work harder and stoop lower than most people are willing to.
