Philosophies on Life:
I'll do what I want. You do what you want. If we're lucky we'll either stay out of each other's way or (if you're an attractive woman) end up wanting to do each other.
(Stolen from a dog I once knew) If you can't eat it or fuck it, piss on it.
Friendship means being willing to die for someone. Love means being willing to die for them gladly.
Freedom is like a 1929 Auburn Roadster - It's a great ride, but it needs constant maintenance.
Love is the only true religion.
Don't fight. If you have to fight, be willing to kill or die. Under these circumstances, always fight dirty. Sportsmanlike conduct is fine in the ring, but it gets you killed quickly when things really matter.
Follow your heart (anywhere but down a mine shaft)
