To be alive To be alive: not just the carcass But the spark. That's crudely put, but... If we're not supposed to dance, Why all this music?

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether be a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Okay, tell me everything I'm not, You think I didn't know those things? Always been a little lost and I still might be. Life's hard, but it's okay.

I can see the lighthouse through the smoke. Everything is lost, I know. Underneath the roaring of the storm, I can hear the breaking of the dawn. Can you see the broken rays of light, Caught into the dead of night? And I know that I'll see you again.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan "Press On" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge

Solitude encircles and engirdles him, always more threatening, more throttling, more heart-oppressing, that terrible goddess and mater saeva cupidinum - but who knows nowadays what solitude is?...

In short, I still live; and life, in spite of ourselves, is not devised by morality; it demands illusion, it lives by illusion...
