Favorite Quote:
A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist.

Look to the earth.
Look to the sky.
Live just to live.
Die just to die.

Laugh out the tears.
Hold in the screams.
Eat though you're not hungry.
Betray all your teams.

Stare at the beauty.
Gawk at the beast.
Punch out your presence.
Suck in your peace.

Crawl under obstacles.
Leap over the guys.
Stomp on the earth.
Spit at the sky.

&quot;life isn&#039;t a matter of milestones, but of moments&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;be as you wish to seem.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;it&#039;s better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you are not.&quot;
