Quotes
I have a photographic memory for events and faces, but I can't remember names for the life of me. I forget the names of colleagues I've worked with for years. I call them 'man' or 'dude.' I end up calling everyone 'mate' or 'pal.' But that's just me. I'm hopeless with names. I forget them instantly. It's a memory problem. I remember faces and events, but words and names just vanish into the ether. I'll remember faces long after I've forgotten you. I'll remember the time and place we met, but the words you said, the name you gave me - poof! They just vaporize. - Mark Waters
I've been through a lot of things in my personal and family life. That turned me into a fighter. I always strive to be the best I can be. - Wilfredo Gomez
I've been to war twice. I've seen blood. I've seen guts. I've seen people suffer. I've seen death. Friends of mine have died. - Chris Kyle
