William Shakespeare sounds to me like some kind of faggot.

When you walk through a bad neighborhood, you don't want a poodle by your side. You want a Rottweiler.

Life is too short to have anything but delusional notions about yourself.

The Bible doesn't sugarcoat pain and suffering; it gives you something to move past it.

Let's cool it brothers . . . Spoken to his assassins, three men who stabbed him 16 times.

I feel SF is going through an experimental phase right now.
