And with that newly recognized strength, we move past the hard times. And we become a little stronger for the next round.”
― Barbara Nickless, Dead Stop

“I am not given to either believing or disbelieving things 'on principle,' as I have found many idiots prone to be, and what is more, some of them not ashamed to boast of the insane fact.”
