We continue. We go on. Thus death proved life Picture Quote #1

When the filter is weakened by a powerful drug, what we see is not delusion but the truth Picture Quote #1

Would you like to hear a nice definition of jealousy? It’s the feeling that you get when someone you absolutely detest is having a wonderful time without you Picture Quote #1
