When the whole world is crazy, it doesn't pay to be sane.

I'd rather look a fool than be right and fail to act.

Reason and reality are the only means to just laws; mindless wishes, if given sovereignty, become deadly masters.

To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we can have. Cherish it for what it truly is..... Your life is yours alone. Rise up and live it.

But this was no ordinary chicken. This chicken was evil manifest.

Being afraid something is true is accepting the possibility. Accepting the possibility is the first step to believing.
