I think the most tortured place in hell should be reserved not for traitors, but... for cowards. The weakest, most spineless losers. Because it seems to me that traitors? At least they made a choice.

But who cares? I can honestly look back and realize that everything happened for a reason. Everything that fell apart has fallen back into place beautifully and magically. ↗

Trouble is, I don't get to play a lot at the moment because I've just signed a contract where I've got to do 200 shows a year in pubs, so the golf's fallen away a bit. ↗

Many a man has fallen in love with a girl in a light so dim he would not have chosen a suit by it. ↗

Mr. Churchill is proud of Britain's stand alone, after France had fallen and before America entered the War. ↗
