Only cowards cave. The brave get assassinated.

Truth and integrity must be so rare these days that it confuses people when they hear it.

There is the purity of love, harmonious in every way, but not meant for a lifetime, and then there is the steady love of commitment - no less real but completely different. She had both.

I'd rather be befriended as an aimless lost soul than be befriended for adornment, gain or goal.
