Il est un Dieu
les herbes de la vallée et les cèdres de la montagne le bénissent; l'insecte bourdonne ses louanges; l'éléphant le salue au lever de l'aurore; l'oiseau le chante dans le feuillage; la foudre fait éclater sa puissance, et l'océan déclare son immensité.
L'Homme seul à dit: "Il n'y a point de Dieu"

"CHATEAUBRIAND"

What happened to you?

I fell..

Evidently.. Off a train?

I fell in love... Please help me find her.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

What's it like?

What?

Warmth..

It's wonderful!

If you'd known this was going to happen... would you have done it?

I would rather have had...

...one breath of her hair...

...one kiss of her mouth...

...one touch of her hand...

...than an eternity without it.

"How I Became a Madman"

You ask me how I became a madman. It happened thus: One day, long before many gods were born, I woke from a deep sleep and found all my masks were stolen -- the seven masks I have fashioned and worn in seven lives -- I ran maskless through the crowded streets shouting, "Thieves, thieves, the cursed thieves." Men and women laughed at me and some ran to their houses in fear of me. And when I reached the market place, a youth standing on a house-top cried, "He is a madman." I looked up to behold him; the sun kissed my own naked face for the first time. For the first time the sun kissed my own naked face and my soul was inflamed with love for the sun, and I wanted my masks no more. And as if in a trance I cried, "Blessed, blessed are the thieves who stole my masks." Thus I became a madman. And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness; the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief.

"Fat people are harder to kidnap

So eat as much as you can"

There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life - happiness, freedom, and peace of mind - are always attained by giving them to someone else.
