Bigotry is the sacred disease.

If you do not hope, you will not win that which is not hoped for, since it is unattainable and inaccessible.

To get everything you want is not a good thing. Disease makes health seem sweet. Hunger leads to the appreciation of being full-fed. Tiredness creates the enjoyment of resting.

Sharing your emotions with paper is so much more comforting than sharing with someone else.

There is a song for every emotion.
