Running past or away from people while you are talking to them is polite.

You can be the best in the world at your job. But so can everyone else. And you will all do it exactly the same way.

If you don’t keep up with your friends, you will never see them again.

Death doesn’t really sting. Nerf, however, is incredibly painful.

The most important thing in the world is slaying something that will be back the next day… before anyone else gets to slay it.

Robbing the dead of indigenous cultures is how you make money.

All women are beautiful and all men are either handsome or darkly mysterious.

There is no death; there is simply a failure to show up.

It is better to hide behind shadows, then to stand up and take it like a man.
