"Having a fear doesn't make you a weak person. Not having one makes you a monster or a least one in a human's eyes.

Remember that bravery can also be considered the same thing as dying for a stupid reason." - Anonymous

"The world is not beautiful . . . but that in turn gives it a sort of beauty." - Kino's Journey

"Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return." - Fullmetal Alchemist

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.- George Carlin

Me: I'm going to die before I get my stories done . . .

Friend: I think we've established that.

Me: I'm trying the best I can!

Friend: No, you're just being lazy.

Me: . . . .

Friend: Anything else?

Me: Uh, I had a weird dream about me eating steak?

Friend: What does that have to do with anything?

Me: It means I'm hungry.

Friend: And . . . ?

Me: I . . . don't . . . know . . .

Friend: . . . . .

Me: IGNORE ME!
