flame (Susan A. Lucas):
To no longer have the time to wallow in the existential mire or to
think thoughts like these.......
Time is an artificial construct designed by human beings to partition
an otherwise indivisible and unqualifiable aspect of existence.
Meaning depends on time to the degree of its ability to maintain the
dichotomy between being and becoming. Without time, meaning would be
impossible, and since time is itself an illusion, meaning must also be
illusory. We simply are, basically nothing.

Sails are just like wings
the wind can make em sing
songs of life songs of hope
songs to keep your dreams afloat...

rjbarbal (Richard J. Barbalace):
When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee - and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remembered, such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
- William Shakespeare
"I can't understand you. Do you mean to say that
you...have let him live on after all those horrible deeds?
Now at any rate he is as bad as an Orc, and just an enemy.
He deserves death."
"Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live
deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you
give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death
in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends."
- "The Fellowship of the Ring", J.R.R. Tolkien

therese (Therese):
Corpulent generals safe behind lines
History's lessons drowned in red wine
Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade
All of those young lives betrayed
All of those young lives betrayed
All for a children's crusade
- Sting
Dream of the Blue Turtles
