never knows best...

dry as toast

"Anyone who falls in love is searching for the missing pieces of themselves. So anyone who's in love gets sad when they think of their lover. It's like stepping back inside a room you have fond memories of, one you haven't seen in a long time. It's just a natural feeling."

In another point in the book, he goes through the best way to kill someone with a bayonnet, and sounds very familiar to me. Just like killing someone with a sword (from what I remember from Snow Crash or kendo you are supposed to just tap your opponent's head hard and lift up to prevent the sword from getting stuck), it takes some technique: stab and twist (sounds like it would be hard to pull out though). Thinking about it some more it sounds like something that I could have picked up from any number of places. What I imagine is some hero dude training hapless peasants in the art of bayonetting enemies.

Sorry the previous paragraph kinda takes away from the sentiment of the original quote, but it feels like something I wanted to note.
