“ Ah, pay no heed if your enemies laugh. They'll not be able to once you lop off their heads. ”
Those whom we most love are often the most alien to us.
~ Christopher Paolini
It's impossible to go through life unscathed. Nor should you want to. By the hurts we accumulate, we measure both our follies and our accomplishments.
Live in the present, remember the past, and fear not the future, for it doesn't exist and never shall. There is only now.
Without fear there cannot be courage.
