The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure that it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.
[Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms]

One of my matches has this posted in the “Six things I can’t live without” section of his profile:

“Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first woman she meets and then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again.”

It’s a summary of the Wizard of Oz from the Marin County newspaper. (It is, appropriately, the only thing on his list of six.)
