TAKE THAT YOU DAMN MONKEY!!!
"EVERY MORNING IN AFRICA, A GAZELLE WAKES UP.
IT KNOWS IT MUST RUN FASTER THAN THE FASTEST LION OR IT WILL BE KILLED.
EVERY MORNING A LION WAKES UP.
IT KNOWS IT MUST OUTRUN THE SLOWEST GAZELLE OR IT WILL STARVE TO DEATH.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER YOU ARE A LION OR A GAZELLE.
WHEN THE SUN COMES UP, YOU BETTER START RUNNING."

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
-Albert Einstein "Lo so come ti senti. E' come essere dietro un vetro, non puoi toccare niente di quello che vedi. Ho passato tre quarti della mia vita chiuso fuori, finche'; ho capito che l'unico modo e'; romperlo. E se hai paura di farti male, prova a immaginarti di essere gia'; vecchio e quasi morto, pieno di rimpianti".
-Andrea De Carlo "Due Di Due"
