“The Iron is always there for you. Your friends may come and go. Someone you thought you knew might turn out to be someone you can no longer stand to be around in the time it takes to blink your eye. Fads come and go, almost everything comes and goes. However, the Iron is the Iron. Two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver, always there like a beacon in pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs, never lies.”

“The world breaks everyone and afterward
many are strong at the broken places. But

good and the very gentle and the very brave
impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.”
