La Tristesse Durera Toujours - August 16th, 2008

"How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on.. when in your heart you begin to understand.. there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend.. some hurts that go too deep.. that have taken hold." -Lord of the Rings

"The courage of life is a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must, in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures and that is the basis of all morality." -John F. Kennedy

"I'm sick of being ashamed. I don't mind being dejected and rejected, but I'm not going to be ashamed about it. At least pain is real. I mean, you look around and you see nothing is real, but at least the pain is real." -Pump Up the Volume

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -C.S. Lewis
