To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. ”

We measure our pricelessness by our successes, which... still equals money. Life goes by so quick when each day is a mad rush to slow motion. We eat fast food so that we can go to bed on time, but, trust me, everyone wakes up too late. ”
