About Me

"There's something inside every man that keeps him going long after he has any reason to. He's no good to life and life is no good to him, and he knows it will always be that way. But still he can't quit. Something keeps prodding him, whispering to him - making him believe there's a reason to stay in there and pitch, and that if he fights long enough he'll stumble on to it."
- Jim Thompson, After Dark, My Sweet, 1955
