Society values cooperation over independence, obedience over individuality, and niceness above all else.

I was an English major in college with minors in Fine Arts and Humanities.

My notion of an elegant table is you don't leave the knife sticking out of the mayonnaise jar.

You try to keep life simple but it never works, and in the end all you have left is yourself.

I know there are people who believe you should forgive and forget. For the record, I'd like to say I'm a big fan of forgiveness as long as I'm given the opportunity to get even first.

Beware the dark pool at the bottom of our hearts. In its icy, black depths dwell strange and twisted creatures it is best not to disturb.

The struggle is what teaches you.
