I'd like to meet:



"To love a person means to see him as God intended him to be." -- Dostoevsky
"Jesus did not come into this world to make bad people good. He came into this world to make dead people live." -- Ravi Z.
"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." -- Einstein
"If the dawn means the day is upon us, I will forever hide in the shadows. And if maturity means I am condemned to the cold, I will forever burn bright in childishness. If they tell me to settle for someone less than ideal, I will always, always be alone. And if the tide brings in a trend of apathy, I will drown in my passion before it is taken away. And finally, if being warm, happy, content, and well-adjusted means selling myself to become what they say I should be, I will scream in the pain and agony of my abnormality for all eternity." -- A. Schwab
