Black Wings Has My Angel
by Elliott Chaze
"Most of living is waiting to live. And you spend a great deal of time worrying about things that don't matter and about people that don't matter and all this is clear to you when you know the very day you're going to die."
"The shop, except for the noise and the rust in the air, was a lot like a barracks. Too many men under one roof."
" ... and I know why gentlemen are what they are. They decide to be that way after they've tried all the real things and flopped at them. They've flopped at women. They've flopped at standing up on their hind legs and acting like men. So they become gentlemen. They've flopped at being individuals. So they say to themselves one fine morning: 'What can I be that's no trouble at all and that doesn't amount to a damned thing, but yet will make everyone look up to me?' The answer's simple. Be a gentleman. Take life flat on your back, cry in private, and then in a well-modulated voice."
"Because you can't own anybody by shielding them and bullying them and spying on them. It's just the other way 'round."
