Being scared can keep a man from getting killed, and often makes a better fighter of him

Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before - it takes something from him.

I'm actually writing history. It isn't what you'd call big history. I don't write about presidents and generals... I write about the man who was ranching, the man who was mining, the man who was opening up the country.

Sometimes, something will startle me, and I secretly hope it's a zombie.

I was born to be the man that's not scared to bring up the controversial topic you think about but never say.

There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. Yet that will be the beginning.
