Iโve earned it. Iโve deserved it. Iโve sought it out. Such is my punishment.

Ernest AngleyYou will remember when a bird crashed through the window and fell to the floor. You will remember, those of you who were there, how it jerked its wings before dying, and left a spot of blood on the floor after it was removed.

Who first saw the shadow that the bird left behind, the shadow that drew blood from any finger that dared to trace it, the shadow that was better proof of the bird's existence than the bird ever was?

They sit under his shadow with great delight. . . . They lean on the Beloved. They find infinite strength in him for the use of their soul โ grace for grace โ all they can need in any hour of trial and suffering to the very end.

Sam RaimiI think this is really a defining moment for the Arab world. The problem is, it is all going to be about blood, sweat and tears.

Josephine BakerBut in a way you can say that after leaving the sea, after all those millions of years of living inside of the sea, we took the ocean with us. When a woman makes a baby, she gives it water, inside her body, to grow in. That water inside her body is almost exactly the same as the water of the sea. It is salty, by just the same amount. She makes a little ocean, in her body. And not only this. Our blood and our sweating, they are both salty, almost exactly like the water from the sea is salty. We carry oceans inside of us, in our blood and our sweat. And we are crying the oceans, in our tears.

All is well, and you are safe.
