Favorite Quote:
&quot;I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning.&rdquo;<br /> -James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

They constantly told me
that my first love

would be a handsome boy
who'd save me

or a pretty girl
who'd hold me.

So i searched the world
for another,

never knowing that
my first love

should have been
me.

&quot;I understand that love and tragedy go hand in hand, for there can&rsquo;t be one without the other, but nonetheless I find myself wondering wether the tradeoff is fair.&quot;<br /> -Nicholas Sparks
