On bad days you wonder, ‘Why not just back off from the war and lead a quiet metalife?

Always, it is the poor people who pay. And always, it is the poor people's women who pay the most.

I still sit and wonder, how can we have war in these times?

You have good days and bad days.

There are good days and there are bad days, and this is one of them.

A life can get knocked into a new orbit by a car crash, a lottery win or just a bleary-eyed consultant giving bad news in a calm voice.
