A man devoid of hope and conscious of being so has ceased to belong to the future.

I do not want to believe that death is the gateway to another life. For me, it is a closed door. I do not say it is a step we must all take, but that it is a horrible and dirty adventure.

We stand in need of folk who have determined to speak directly and unmistakably and come what may, to stand by what they have said.
