It's not all gore...

“The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.”

Stephen King- Different Seasons

In the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia, even the guillotine

Milan Kundera

Off to college you go...

 

 You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around-and why his parents always wave back.-William D. Tammeus

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Mark Twain (repeated)
