This is a living archive of my thoughts, experiences, and hard-earned insights, drawn from an unusual life. Here you’ll find reflections on the food I’ve eaten, the things I’ve bought, the people I’ve encountered, the places I’ve seen, the books I’ve read, the quotes I’ve kept, and the trends I’ve spotted and capitalized on.
I write this for you, my children, those already here and those yet to come. Daddy loves you more than words can hold. I want each of you to live lives you’re proud of. This is my thinking, in my own voice, left here for you to explore. I hope one day it proves useful.
If, by some unlikely chance, I’m gone before I can guide you in person, let this stand as a poor substitute. But in the more likely case that I’m still here, let this serve as an intellectual archive, a record that I held these convictions long before you were born. May that give weight to my words, and credibility to the wisdom I hope to pass on to you.

Memories are dangerous things. You turn them over and over, until you know every touch and corner, but still you’ll find an edge to cut you. There’s something brittle in me that will break before it bends. Hate will keep you alive where love fails The biggest lies we save for ourselves I’ll tell you…
We’re all a disappointment to someone.’ The desert is hot and boring. I’m sorry, but that’s pretty much all there is to it. It’s also sandy, but rocks are essentially dull things and breaking them up into really small pieces doesn’t improve matters. Some people will tell you how the desert changes character day by…
my fake laugh is even better than my real one, and nine-tenths of being popular is the ability to jolly the menials along. The world is changing, moving beneath our feet. We are in a war, children of the Red March, though you may not see it yet, may not feel it. We are in…
times of peace are when the wise prepare for violence There’s a time for subtlety and a time for action!’‘There is never a time for recklessness, Leo. Or for vanity You have it in you to be a great man, but you cannot let yourself be swept off by whatever emotion blows your way. Battles…
How could a man whose business has been concealment find it impossible to hide his emotions in this room? But Glokta knew how. It’s hard to stay calm when you’re terrified, helpless, alone, at the mercy of men with no mercy at all. Who could know that better than me? The old order crumbles. Loyalty,…
