Ok, Matt, I admit it freely - I'm gonna 'flame' ya with some Nietzsche: "Man shall be trained for war and woman for the procreation of the warrior. All else is folly." He went further.

Most of mine are from the Beatles...but ::shrug:: Who doesn't love the Beatles? "I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people." -- John Lennon.

We need to renew, in our hearts and in our souls, the deathless dream, the eternal poetry, the perennial sense that is miracle and magic."-E. Merrill Root [font=DS_Celtic-1][/font] [/font]
