“Princes & Kings

Isn't it strange how princes and kings,
and clowns that caper in sawdust rings,
and common people, like you and me,

And each must fashion, ere life is flown,
A stumbling block, or a Stepping-Stone.”
― R. Lee Sharpe

― Anaïs Nin

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
