Rob's Truths, Profound Statements, and Poems

  • Every man dies, not every man truly lives - Mel Gibson, "Braveheart"

  • The best way to screw up a terrific friendship is to sleep together. Corollary: You can never go back to being 'just friends'. - me

  • You can have excitement or security, but not both. The more you have of one, the less you have of the other. - me

  • Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. - Robert Heinlein

  • Indifference in a relationship gives you all the power. - my sister

  • If the answer to your question is 'no' then you've either asked the wrong question, or the wrong person. - me

  • There are two types of assholes in this world: those who know they're assholes, and those who don't. The second type are the hardest to take. - me

  • That which doesn't kill us, makes us stronger. - my wife

  • We often joke when we're serious, so as not to expose ourselves to criticism. - me

  • To assume is the mother of all fuckups. - from Under Seige 2

    • After a while, you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security.

    And you begin to understand that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. And you begin to accept your defeats with your head held high and your eyes open, with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.

    You learn to build your roads on today, because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

    After a while, you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.

    So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong. And that you really have worth, and that you keep learning.

    With every goodbye...you learn.
