Indifference acts as a blade across the throat.

About Me





I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love. I felt in myself a superabundance of energy which found no outlet in a quiet life." -Leo Tolstoy "Family Happiness"



"Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends."
