And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And loves dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves"
- "Under Pressure" By Queen and David Bowie

Life's a bitch and then you die.

"The road to happiness lies in two simple principles: find what it is that interests you and that you can do well, and when you find it, put your whole soul into it - every bit of energy and ambition and natural ability you have." - John D. Rockefeller III
