My dad's era believed that there was something noble in being a good guy - the kind of guy that lived straight and narrow told the truth and stood up for what he believed was right.

He's as cool as a prized marrow!

When you lead change sometimes you get arrows in your back. I mean that's just the way the real world is.

There is in true beauty as in courage something which narrow souls cannot dare to admire.

Oh literature oh the glorious Art how it preys upon the marrow in our bones. It scoops the stuffing out of us and chucks us aside. Alas!

One science only will one genius fit so vast is art so narrow human wit.

So vast is art so narrow human wit.

I get in trouble when I say things like 'I'm attracted to violence.' I was a pretty angry kid and I got into military history largely as a way to vent my own anger. As I got older it narrowed down to a more specific focus on individual violence. I'm just trying to understand where it came from.

No one else can take risks for us or face our losses on our behalf or give us self-esteem. No one can spare us from life's slings and arrows and when death comes we meet it alone.

These days too many of us seem inclined to cover our ears close our eyes and blindly follow the most narrow conservative tenets of religion or else seek comfort in the ancient traditions of New Age ritual.

Middle age is when your broad mind and narrow waist begin to change places.

When I was seventeen I worked as a counsellor at a co-ed sleep-away camp for eight weeks. I loved it but it could be harrowing - it was far too much responsibility for someone my age.
