I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should
burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot.  I
would rather be a supurb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow,

live, not to exist.  I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong
them.  I shall use my time.

Hell hath no fury like a fanatic asked to find a reason for what he's

and sword to hold it back.
  --Gwen Bristow

All my life I've been harassed by questions: Why is something this way
and not another?  How do you account for that?  This rage to

the fundamental mystery of our lives, then we might be closer to the
sort of happiness that comes with innocence.

Beyond these thin hide walls
a child sits, before her on worn silk
a Deck is arrayed.
She cannot yet speak
and the scenes before her
she's never before seen in this life.
The child gazes upon a lone card
named Obelisk, the stone grey
she can feel its roughness in her mind.
Obelisk stands buried in a grassy knoll
like a knuckle protruded
from the earth, past and future.
This child's eyes are wide
with terror, for cracks have appeared
in the stone of stones and she knows
the shattering is begun.
-Silverfox, Steven Erikson

-Albert Einstein 

We are the music makers.
We are the dreamers of dreams.
Wandering by lone sea breakers.
Sitting by desolate streams.
World losers and world forsakers on whom the pale moon gleams.
And yet we are the movers and the shakers of the world forever
it seems
  -Arthur O'Shaungenssy
  
Out of the night that covers me
Black as the Pit from pole to pole
I thank whatever gods maybe
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate
How charged with punishment the scroll
I am the Master of my fate
I am the Captain of my soul.
-- William Earnest Henley

then there is something wrong inside of you.
Someday you will understand how to taste it.
Then, we will enjoy it together.
-Hiko Seijuurou

Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. 
I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow. 
I am the sun on ripened grain. I am the soothing, gentle rain. 
When you awake in morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush 
Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the stars that shine at night. 
Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die.

These beings of yesterday were called Man."
