now he is playing a very
unfair game, in which the cards have all been dealt to one player and in
which,if necessary,the values of the cards will vary according to the whim of
the person holding them
----------------

Arguing with what must
be has always been awaste of time
----------------
each word filled with
unbearable pain and sorrow

----------------
They say
that time heals all wounds,But we never live long enough to test that theory
----------------
laying on the world the whole weight of his
infinite weariness
----------------
each word
that we utter will take up the space of another more deserving word,not
deserving in its ownright
----------------
the only rose without
thorns I know,is you
----------------
life only gives you two days,and given the number of people who
only get to live for a day and a half, and others even less, we can'treally
complain.
----------------
every minute that
passed taking with it ten years of life
----------------
how difficult it is to separate
ourselves from what we have made
----------------
The
only strength you need is in your arms
----------------
Because I've lived,

May God make you good,for I have done what I could
----------------
,The things that seem to
be over are always the things that never really are,
----------------
at what cost do we get
used to things
