I Loved The Limey [movie]! It's So

Beautiful Samurai Way

More From William Gibson

I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

I'm not a fighter, but in my mind i'm fighting every day. 'what's new? what am i doing?' i'm fighting myself. my soul is samurai. my roots aren't samurai, but my soul is.

If i had a friend and loved him because of the benefits which this brought me and because of getting my own way, then it would not be my friend that i loved but myself. i should love my friend on account of his own goodness and virtues and account of all that he is in himself. only if i love my friend in this way do i love him properly.

She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. she was beautiful, for the way she thought. she was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. she was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. no, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. she was beautiful, deep down to her soul. she is beautiful.

I see conflict. but the conflict is what makes it relatable. i'm conflicted; you're conflicted. i'm not perfect - nobody is. i'm just blessed to be able to express my conflict through song.

Get rid of the guns. we had the second amendment that said you have the right to bear arms. i haven't seen the british really coming by my house looking for it. and besides, the right to bear arms is not an absolute right anyway, as new york's sullivan law proves. we talk about ourselves as a violent society, and some of that is right and some of it is claptrap. but i think if you took away the guns, and i mean really take away the guns, not what congress is doing now, you would see that violent society diminish considerably.

Once one concedes that a single world government is not necessary, then where does one logically stop at the permissibility of separate states? if canada and the united states can be separate nations without being denounced as in a state of impermissible ‘anarchy’, why may not the south secede from the united states? new york state from the union? new york city from the state? why may not manhattan secede? each neighbourhood? each block? each house? each person?

It's been hard to be a show in l.a. and be trendsetting, because the fashions are in new york... not to mention that most actresses are all, give or take, the same size, between five-two and five-five, and 95 to 125 pounds.

You have got me walking up and down all day under those trees, saying to me over and over again, "solitude, solitude." and you have turned around and thrown the world in my lap. you have told me, "leave all things and follow me," and then you have tied half of new york to my foot like a ball and chain. you have got me kneeling behind that pillar with my mind making a noise like a bank. is that contemplation?
