The mistake was in not forbidding the serpent; then he would have eaten the serpent. /Pudd'nhead Wilson Novel by Mark Twain/  LoisS: Realize that sleeping on a futon when you're 30 is not the worst thing. You know what's worse, sleeping in a king bed next to a wife you're not really in love with but for some reason you married, and you got a couple kids, and you got a job you hate. You'll be laying there fantasizing about sleeping on a futon. There's no risk when you go after a dream. There's a tremendous amount to risk to playing it safe. B.B LoisS: To me this is not yelling. I am not yelling. I'm just passionate about my opinions and I want to tell you all of them before you start talking again. B.B Lilith___: "You know the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit the views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering." Doctor Who - The Face of Evil LoisS: Things like racism are institutionalized. You might not know any bigots. You feel like "well I don't hate black people so I'm not a racist," but you benefit from racism. Just by the merit, the color of your skin. The opportunities that you have, you're privileged in ways that you might not even realize because you haven't been deprived of certain things. We need to talk about these things in order for them to change. D.C Lilith___: “Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it.

You depress people. We like apples too.” "Beautiful Losers", Leonard Cohen TheCovenant: You know you've pretty much hit rock bottom when you've been told you have character flaws by a man who hanged his predecessor LoisS: Life is one big road with lots of signs.
