How the things that hold us are only as strong as the faith we have in them-you go on the bridge because you trust it will not fall the fingers will clasp because we trust them to. — David Levithan

and the city fireworked alive all around us: flashing with neon signs and flaring with red and gold lights, buzzing with motorbikes and pumping with stereos, streaming warm wind through the open windows.

The fact, therefore, that I could rest content with an effort only, means that I have not yet clearly realised the necessity of definite action.

But that doubt also betrays a lack of clear perception that a particular thing must be renounced. — Mahatma Gandhi
