“When you go to a country, you must learn how to say two things: how to ask for food, and to tell a woman that you love her. Of these the second is more important, for if you tell a woman you love her, she will certainly feed you.”

“A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do”

“No man ever raised a monument to a cynic or wrote a poem about a man without faith.”

“There is nothing more dangerous than a woman with a shotgun. Because you don't know when it's going to go off...and neither does she.”

“It is brutal. Only I never could see the sense in having folks look at your tombstone and say, 'He was a man who didn't believe in violence, He's a good man... and dead.”
