I would that I could have stopped time and preserved that day forever. It was a perfect day. There was the shadow of sorrow, yes. It would always be there. But that was the nature of life. The bright mirror and the dark, reflecting one another. And today there was so much brightness.
Jacqueline CareyWhy is there ever this perverse cruelty in humankind, that makes us hurt most those we love best?
Jacqueline CareyWhip us 'till we're on the floor, we'll turn around and ask for more, we're Phรจdre's Boys! We like to hurt, we like to bleed, daily floggings do we need, we're Phรจdre's Boys! Man or woman, we don't care, give us twins we'll take the pair! We're Phรจdre's Boys! ...But just because we let you beat us, doesn't mean you can defeat us, we're Phรจdre's Boys!
