About Me

"Remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall - think of it, ALWAYS".
-- Mahatma Gandhi
"We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell"
-- Oscar Wilde
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
-- Edmund Burke
“One who condones evils is just as guilty as the one who perpetrates it.”
-- Martin Luther King Jr
.."There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root"
-- Henry David Thoreau
"The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it"
--Albert Einstein
"He who does not punish evil commands it to be done."
--Leonardo da Vinci
""Before the beginning, after the great war between heaven and hell, God created the Earth and gave dominion over it to the crafty ape he called man... and to each generation was born a creature of light and a creature of darkness... and great armies clashed by night in the ancient war between good and evil. There was magic then. Nobility. And unimaginable cruelty. And so it was until the day that a false sun exploded over Trinity, and man forever traded away wonder for reason."
--Carnivale Season II
