"There are no flowers, no not this time.
There'll be no angels gracing the lines.
Just these stark words, I find.
I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak.
I'd share with you could I only speak,
Just how much this, hurts me." -AFI "This Time Imperfect"
"This is what I brought you. This you can keep.
This is what I brought. You may forget me.
I promise to depart, just promise one thing...
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep." -AFI "Prelude 12/21"
"Science is the tool of the Western mind and with it more doors can be opened than with bare hands. It is part and parcel of our knowledge and obscures our insight only when it holds that the understanding given by it is the only kind there is." -Carl Jung
"Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length." -Robert Frost
"God Bless Darwin!"
(Describing myself mainly)"You know you are a geek if you get giddy when you randomly hear the Final Fantasy battle completion tune." -moi
"This is the first time I've ever said this about anyone ever in the whole world, but I think you may have better taste in music than me."
"When the moon is sad, there is no hope for the earth."
"Damn it, Moonshine, why can't you be stupid and annoying so I wouldn't have to miss you." -Zim Army Dude
"I hate the fact that your new hair looks hot on you, Moon" -Autumn
"I'm nothing compared to how bright you are, Moonshine"
"La estrella desea estar con la luna." -AndyYou'reAStar
"There is one thing about you that makes you very different, your blatant honesty. I don't know if it's just to me, but it's cool"
"I don't think I'll ever be able to thank you enough, so you'll just have to deal with me thanking you randomly for the rest of your life" -Mr. Walter
"I'll tell you this now, I'd rather have you as a friend for a day, than have a girlfriend for life." -CheesyNip
