“Men in general are quick to believe that which they wish to be true — Caesar     So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow edge — Cicero”
― William Casey Moreton, The Stranger Beside You

“I want the world to stop. I want this big machine we live in to shut down. I want everyone to stop where they are and offer a day of reverence, a day of stillness, to show respect for the passing of the most important person who will ever be a part of my life. There should be rain, and dark, dark clouds. The wind should blow with a chill. All laughter should cease. I want the flowers to wilt, the grass to turn brown and the leaves to lose their color and fall to the ground. The traffic should stop and all conversation should hush so that there is only silence. If I had my way, the sun would hide itself, for there is no room for its splendor or brilliance or warmth in the midst of my pain. Until further notice, it is banished from the sky.”
