There are chords in the hearts of the most reckless which cannot be touched without emotion, even by the utterly lost, to whom life and death are equally jests, there are matters of which no jest can be made.”
- Edgar Allan Poe
Imagine if we had no secrets, no respite from the truth. What if everything was laid bare the moment, we introduced ourselves?

I sometimes hold it half a sin
To put in words the grief I feel;
For words, like Nature, half reveal
And half conceal the Soul within.
I hold it true, whatever befall;
I feel it when I sorrow most;
‘Tis better to have love and lost
Then never to have loved at all…
- Lord Alfred Tennyson

You learn more from failure than from success. Don’t let it stop you. Failure builds character.

"I AM THAT I AM. " By God from the Bible. It gives me chills. It sounds so simple but deep in and powerful meaning.

Latest Review: Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer

Post by Nyasha Gogoma »

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Life, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way-in short, the period was so far the like present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

Somehow this quote describes the present age perfectly.
