The fountains of sacred rivers flow upwards (i.e., everything is turned topsy turvy).

One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.

Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand.

Better a serpent than a stepmother!

Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other.

Short is the joy that guilty pleasure brings.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Tragedy isn't getting something or failure to get it; it's losing something you already have. Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Real friendship is shown in times of trouble; prosperity is full of friends.

Silence and chaste reserve is woman's genuine praise, and to remain quiet within the house.

We have our Arts so we won't die of Truth

Cloud is cloud.

How the mind works, by what strange paths it pursues memory.

Before the first before and after the last after, there is night waiting.

I was this 5-7 pudgy kid in high school... I wasn't a popular kid. I was an outcast.

I like to talk. I'm a terrible dancer. I love my hometown. I have freckles and oversized ears. I'm a geeks. I have tried not to hide who I am or what matters to me.

I pick up on styles, way before they get popular, pretty much before young kids do. I see 'em coming.

My father insisted that the boys in my life were directly responsible for my juvenile-delinquent tendencies. My mother, more accurately, assumed that I was the bad influence.

I'm deeply driven and want my finger stuck in every pot there is.

The families of our friends are always a disappointment.
