"The archer's bows are broken" - Brand New
"The Devil and God are raging inside me." - album title also from Brand New

@Oathbound & @Oathbound Too
Author Harry Stephen Keeler has a lot of great titles, such as:
The Skull of the Waltzing Clown
I killed Lincoln at 10:13!
The Case of the Barking Clock
Finger! Finger!
The Riddle of the Traveling Skull
The Man Who Changed his Skin
One of these days I'll have to see if I can find some of these, to see if the stories are as good as the titles. Although, according to Futurama writer Ken Keeler (no relation) almost no one really likes HSK's works, including the members of his fan club.
Goodbye, I guess.
