“ Everyone, when there's war in the air, learns to live in a new element: falsehood. ”
Sadness flies on the wings of the morning, and out of the heart of darkness comes the light.
~ Jean Giraudoux

I believe in the gods. Or rather I believe that I believe in the gods. But I don't believe that they are great brooding presences watching over us I believe they are completely absent-minded.
I forgot they were talking about me. They sound so wonderfully convincing.
