    Nelse McLeod: Faith can move mountains Milt, but it can’t beat a faster draw. There’s only three men I know with his kind of speed—one’s dead, the other’s me, and the third is Cole Thornton.
    Cole Thornton: There’s a fourth.
    McLeod: Which one are you?
    Thornton: I’m Thornton.
    Leigh Brackett (1915–1978)

    When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you’re older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.
