Quotes & Sayings About Disturbing The Universe

Too quick to criticize, obligation to survive, we hunger to be alive. All that is, ever, ever was, will be ever twisting, turning, Through The Never. In the dark, see past our eyes.

All alone in the family of the sun, curiosity teasing everyone. On our home, third stone from the sun. — James Hetfield
