You have the power to wage war,
kill indiscriminately those who do not see life as you see it,
do not believe as you believe.
Just remember you would rather die yourself
than force someone into heaven.

Love lost hurts, whether it is deliberate or accidental doesn't matter, the simple fact that it hurts matters.

Be careful of the lightning bolts you throw;
you just might hit someone you love.

Violence is unthinkable.
M. Alibrando

Every insight you have makes a statement.
You are saying something about yourself
by the ideas and concepts
you choose to keep as part of yourself.

Whatever your ideas are,
when you share them with another,
they become a part of him or her.
M. Alibrando

You are in control of your own destiny.
How far you control destiny is up to you.
There are two ways to reach your ultimate goal.
Stop where you are and say,
"This is it,"
or keep going.

Of course you never reach the top,
but it is precisely this that keeps you going.
M. Alibrando

"Remember, you are never given a wish
without also being given the power to make it true.
You may have to work for it, however."
R. Bach

You have the ability to rise higher than your dreams,
you just haven't dreamed that far yet.
But when you do you will dream higher.
M. Alibrando

"You can fly."
R. Bach

Rome didn't fall in a day.
