"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."
-George Orwell

"The world has no room for cowards.
We must all be ready to toil, to suffer, to die.
And yours is not less noble because no drum beats before you when you go out into your daily battlefields. And no crowds shout your coming when you return from your daily victory or defeat."

- Robert Louis Stevenson

"Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."
- W.B. Yeats

Playlists

I've come to the realization that I do not have nearly enough Frank Zappa, Jay-Z, or Bad Religion on my iTunes.
