The truth may not set you free, but used carefully, it can confuse the hell out of your enemies.
Life isn't fair- but I try to be.
The thought should have made me smile- But it didn't.
To do so is to court madness, or worse

"It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination."
- Douglas Adams, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

"Dark as Night, Sweet as Sin."
Don't think I don't have reason, I have all the reason in the world.
It's like trying to walk a straight line with your eyes crossed
I'm a difficult person.
I am the Aquarian
With my head in the clouds and stars in my eyes
Always up in the sky
And you can only wonder why
Quiddity: 1. The real nature of a thing; the essence. 2. A hairsplitting distinction; a quibble.
When you've figured out that life is a lie
And all you know is how to hide
Can't be Domesticated
I'll never be Dominated
You'll never get a hold on me.
Find me a hole to hide in and I'll build you a lie to live in
