Some people still think knowledge is power.

Every generation wants to be the last. Every generation hates the next trend in music they can't understand. We hate to give up those reins of our culture. To find our own music playing in elevators. The ballad for our revolution, turned into background music for a television commercial. To find our generation's clothes and hair suddenly retro.

Just keep asking yourself: What would Jesus not do?

Only in death will we have our own names since only in death are we no longer part of the effort. In death we become heroes.

You know how they say you only hurt the ones you love? Well, it works both ways.

A good story isn't the one that shuts everyone down and sort of leaves them in silent awe. A good story is one that, even before you finish the anecdote, you can see their eyes shining because it has so resonated with something from their own lives that everyone in the group has a version of the same story and they cannot wait to tell it, and that they're going to compete to make their version even more extreme than your version. So your version is just a seed.

You are permanent, but this life is not.
