“The bird is not in its ounces and inches, but in its relations to Nature; and the skin or skeleton you show me, is no more a heron, than a heap of ashes or a bottle of gases into which his body has been reduced, is Dante or Washington.”

“Any time you take a chance you better be sure the rewards are worth the risk because they can put you away just as fast for a ten dollar heist as they can for a million dollar job.”

“We human beings do have some genuine freedom of choice and therefore some effective control over our own destinies. I am not a determinist.

—A.J. (Arnold Joseph)
