    "In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer". - Albert Camus

    "Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction". - Antoine de Saint Exupery

    "When it is dark enough, you can see the stars". -Ralph Waldo Emerson

    "I am not going to die. I'm going home like a shooting star." - Sojourner Truth

    "Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarised in four C's. They are Curiosity, Confidence, Courage and Constancy, and the greatest of all is Confidence.

    "Love is passion. Obsession. Someone you can't live without. Someone you fall head over heels for. Find someone you can love like crazy, and will love you the same way back. Listen to your heart. No sense in life without this. To make the journey without falling deeply in love, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try, because if you haven't tried, then you haven't lived." From the movie- "Meet Joe Black"

    "I am not your savior
    But, I'm crippled with desire."

    "All my life I never wanted to cause pain
    To anyone, but these words are in vain.
    She's grown as angry as a furious night sky.
    So gather, children, and prepare me for the sacrifice.
    The sun is full of heat; it requires retribution
    What happened to love slash evolution?
    See me standing naked in a pool of my blood.
    Prepare yourselves as the tears gather for the flood."

    "Just like a man without skin
    Everything he sees seems to touch him
    And he says that the one who watches over me
    I'll stand alone let god make a trade."


    "'Cause everyone has, has that song inside that will forever keep us alive."
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    Knowledge is the past, wisdom is the future
    You can walk, you can talk, you can fight
    But inside you've got something to write
    In your hand you hold your only friend
    Never spend your guitar or your pen

    "This next song explores the realm of catharsis, and umm, my arse is capable of more flush" - Gordon Downie

    Suppose you may have to look up the definintion of catharsis to find the humour in this one.

    1. Purgation, especially for the digestive system.
    2. A release of emotional tension, as after an overwhelming experience, that restores or refreshes the spirit.

    Adolescence in essence is all about trust.

    If you are losing a tug-of-war with a tiger, give him the rope before he gets to your arm. You can always buy a new rope.

    -Confucius

    "Dreams are simply the emotions of the heart that have been painted into words..." -- Doug Firebaugh

    "You are 100% emotional in everything you think, feel and decide. You decide emotionally and justify logically." -- Brian Tracy

    They gave each other a smile with a future in it.
