So traumatised by the Nigerian injustice that you step on your fellow man without remorse. Bunch of inane cycle peddlers. Fiona was right. Evil is a relay sport when the one who's burned turns to pass the torch.

You don't have to be strong enough to carry a woman. It's helpful to be that strong, but you don't have to be.

I'm now switching to reading the text that's outside the parenthesis before reading what's in the parenthesis. I don't know if that means anything pychologically speaking.

Has anyone ever considered that there are as many time travelling mercenaries as there are as many time travelling revolutionaries who attempt taking Hitler's life at age one? That explains how Hitler lived that old in this universe. (Ignore the branched timeline theory).

You don't need a software to write well. You can literally use charcoal and a dated parchment. Tolstoy didn't need scrivener and Proust definitely didn't use a laptop to write In Search of Lost Time. If you think the tools others use are the reason why you aren't as good as they are, you're wrong.
