    “We promise in proportion to our hopes, and we deliver in proportion to our fears.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “You’re gonna take the rap and play along. You’re gonna make every exact move I tell you. If you don’t, I’ll kill you. And I’ll promise you one thing, it won’t be quick. I’ll break you first. You won’t be able to answer a telephone or open a door without thinking “This is it.” And when it comes, it still won’t be quick. And it won’t be pretty.”
    —Geoffrey Homes (1902–1977)
