"Which is exactly why I'm going. That causeway is going to be a blood bath by the time I'm finished with it." As a story writer, sometimes you get a thrill from re-reading your own work, this quote was one such time.

-With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.
Someone once told me that time is a preadator that stalks us all our lives. But I'd rather belive that time is a compainion that goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherrish every moment; because they'll never come again.
And he piled upon the whale's white hump, the sum of all the rage and hate felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon, he would have shot his heart upon it. (Moby Dick)
Have we become so... fearful, have we become so cowardly... that we must extinguish a man? Because he carries the blood of a current enemy?
Villains who twirl their moustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged. - Gene Roddenberry/ Jene Luc Picard
-?Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you?ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can?t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it?s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn?t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day?s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there?s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you?re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there?s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that?s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.?
?You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.?
?Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect -and I don't live to be- but before you start pointing fingers... make sure you hands are clean!?
?The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.? - Bob Marley
-A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.
Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.
An explanation of cause is not a justification by reason.
Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.
If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.
Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not.
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "All right, then, have it your way." - C.S. Lewis
-When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
If we have learned one thing from the history of invention and discovery, it is that, in the long run - and often in the short one - the most daring prophecies seem laughably conservative.
The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.
I don't believe in astrology; I'm a Scorpio and we're skeptical.
I don't pretend we have all the answers. But the questions are certainly worth thinking about.
It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God - but to create him.
Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we're not. In either case the idea is quite staggering. - Arthur C. Clarke
-How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them.
It is the eye of other people that ruin us. If I were blind I would want, neither fine clothes, fine houses or fine furniture.
Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
When you're finished changing, you're finished.
Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.- Benjamin Frainklin
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage.
In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of. ((Paris Hilton, Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoc...))
If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.
The superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort.
The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.
Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbors.
Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts? - Confucius
As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.
By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
Once made equal to man, woman becomes his superior.
Where there is reverence there is fear, but there is not reverence everywhere that there is fear, because fear presumably has a wider extension than reverence. - Socraties
