If it was an emotion, it was a totally emotionless one. It was hatred, implacable hatred. It was cold, not like ice is cold, but like a wall is cold.

And it was deadly, again, not like a bullet or a knife is deadly, but like a brick wall across an expressway is deadly.
~ Douglas Adams

He knew that, from now on, every day would be alike, that they would all bring the same sufferings.

What diligence and watchfulness is required of us when this enemy in our souls is ready to oppose every effort to do good!
~ Jerry Bridges

~ Lee Child
