There's this brutal imperial power, that my passport says I represent. But it will never represent where my heart lives, only vaguely where it went.

I did not design this game; I did not name the stakes. I just happen to like apples; and I am not afraid of snakes.

Some people wear their smile like a disguise. Those people who smile a lot, watch their eyes. I know 'cause I'm like that a lot. You think everything's ok, and it is . . . 'till it's not.

When I look around I think this, this is good enough; And I laugh at whatever life brings because when I look down, I just miss all the good stuff and when I look up, I just trip over things.
