Yeah yeah, we're always saying we don't write from our own lives, we make shit up, and 98% of the time that's true. But sometimes, something comes out of a writer's mouth and they stop ad say "okay, I need to use that in something, somewhere, at some point....

"Because someone is not inclined to cause harm, do not mistake them for a pacifist."

This probably, also, should be engraved on the back of my personal cards. Because, yeah.

"Because someone is not inclined to cause harm, do not mistake them for a pacifist."

Alas, according to Sources, what should inscribed on the backs of my business cards is 'Yes, but...' Yours is cooler.

You need to have that on the back of your cards!
I end up constnatly retaining lines for future use. Lines and events.
Some things just beg to be in a story!
