The problem with you is that you have no short term memory, no long term memory, and no mid term memory. |
There are Three Kinds of People
(The World According to Matty): |
I'd also like to say...
| There is
a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. -William Shakespeare, "Julius Caesar" |
Humanity
i love you because ee cummings |
|
Some
are born to sweet delight, In the
depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay
an invincible summer. |
This is the way the
world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper. -T.S. Eliot |
