even a good riddle or two
I belong to the sound of music
and dance to my own rhythm

with the ocean caressing my feet
I belong everywhere.

person in front of you. That's what you get to look forward to. If that's the way you
want to view the rest of your life, then this book probably isn't for you. But if you
are sick and tired of looking at someone else's behind, then read on. — Robert T. Kiyosaki

for there is good. The possibility for good in the face of evil is what gives life tragic meaning. — Rollo May

well, yes, perhaps a word or so, but only to vary, not to delete. I want to represent the course of my humors and I want people to see each part at its birth. — Michel De Montaigne
