You're an interesting species.

An interesting mix.

You're capable of such beautiful dreams,
& such horrible nightmares.
You feel so lost, so alone...

Only you're not.

See, in all our searching,

the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable,

Is each other.
-Carl Sagan ✝ 34-96

In matters of truth & justice,

there is no difference between large and small problems,

for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same.

Anyone who doesn’t take truth seriously in small matters
Can not be trusted in large ones either.

-Albert Einstein ✝ 79-55
