Real life takes more than dreams & ideals. It takes endurance. real love? The same.
Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Safeguard the helpless, even if it leads to your death; that is your oath.
The Words Endure, The Flesh Does Not. The Poets Always Have The Upper Hand ... Nick Cave
The poetic myths are dead; and the poetic image,
which is the myth of the individual, reigns in their stead.

False beauty is always very pale & tragic when compared to real beauty, which has true wisdom, depth and soul.

Every Warrior of the Light has felt afraid of going into battle.
Every Warrior of the Light has, at some time in the past, lied or betrayed someone.
Every Warrior of the Light has trodden a path that was not his.
Every Warrior of the Light has suffered for the most trivial of reasons.
Every Warrior of the Light has, at least once, believed he was not a Warrior of the Light.
Every Warrior of the Light has failed in his spiritual duties.
Every Warrior of the Light has said 'yes' when he wanted to say 'no.'
Every Warrior of the Light has hurt someone he loved.
That is why he is a Warrior of the Light, because he has been through all this and yet has never lost hope of being better than he is...
