"Whenever something is gained, something is lost.
ItŐs difficult to live after something like that.
For what is lost, will never return.
Important things.
Irreplaceable things.
But what is needed to keep those things
Is a firm will, packed into one bullet.
For a man knows that nothing will begin unless he speaks
And that nothing will change
Unless he moves."
--Trigun Ep. 4

I sit in the back room, my hands lying palms up on the table. I close my eyes and let my head roll back to rest lightly on the chair. Fuck this. I sit up straight and stick the needle into my vein. I barely feel the prick, I just welcome the comforting feeling of the heroin. Hell, Saigon may be falling, but three things still ride strong: cash, women, and drugs. And a man doesn't need much more from life. --Xanthe Deluna; The Game Must Go On

--Sylvas808 on "The Learn'd Astronomer" by Walt Whitman.
Emily Dickinson
My life closed twice before its close (1732)
My life closed twice before its close --
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me
So huge, so hopeless to conceive
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.

"Though love don't need a reason
She can pick you up or leave you bleeding
I've seen a strong man cry
I know the reason why
We all forgive, we all forget
We just keep believing
This is a song for the lonely,
can you hear me tonight?
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I'll be by your side
And this is a song for the lonely
When your dreams won't come true
Can you hear this prayer
Because someone's there for you
Dont give up, so let it find you
Just hold on, wherever you may go
Anywhere, I'm right beside you
You don't have to look no more
You don't have to look no more"
